    It is estimated that each of the domes on the Russian cathedrals, took a thousand lives to build.

    Amazing what can be done with an endless stream of cheap labour. Look where it has got china.

    And look where a limited stream of overpriced labour has got us?

    You clearly don't want to know the price per tonne for grain in Russia in the mid-thirties
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Who ever built them had one 'monumental' ego.

    The pyramids are the last of the ancient Seven Wonders of World still standing. They will be around long after our ones are gone.

    how many people died while the frogs and yanks were building the panama canal?

    how many humans died as yanks were building their economy on the sweat of their backs (usually foreign)

    ditto for the pomgolian empire

    the story repeats ad nauseam
