Boris Aleksandrovich Shteifon (1881-1945). The Russian Corps was an anti-communist nationalist force of volunteers composed of White Russian émigrés in Serbia. They were led by Lieutenant-General Boris Shteifon and served foremost as a guard force from the autumn of 1941 until the spring of 1944. During the Soviet Belgrade Offensive in late 1944 the Russian Corps fought the communist juggernaut in violent battles. When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 the Russians in exile knew that their chance to free mother Russia had come. The Russian Corps were formed from this tight knit band of White Russian émigrés and officers of the Russian Imperial Army. Many of these men had fought the communists in a losing battle during the communist coup of 1917. They prayed that their time of redemption was at hand. The Russian Corps ultimate goal from the beginning was to accompany the German and Axis forces into Russia and to help liberate it.
In the First World War the Bulgarian General Vladimir Vazov inflicted the largest disaster in a day's combat to England. Among the most notable moments of Vladimir Vazov’s life was his visit to England in 1936. The British legion celebrated the British victory in World War I. The British veterans invited one of their worthiest opponents on the battlefield. He was personally greeted by Lord Milne, who shook his hand with the words: "It is a pleasure to meet the Bulgarian delegation, as even though we were enemies, you, like us, fought not only like brave men, but also like gentlemen." The British paid great honour to General Vazov as they lowered their national flags in his name. At the onset of our delegation Marshal Lord Milne command: "Ring down the flags! Here comes the winner of Doiran!" In no war have the British made as many casualties at once as at Doiran. After attacking Vazov's Bulgarians and the smoke of fire had lifted, over 12,000 British men were killed wounded or captured.

"Brezhoned Sonn", Breton Nationalist Song
Anthem of the Breton Nationalist Party from 1931 until 1944. "Bretoned Sonn", it was written by Olier Mordrel in 1930. The period was also a time of revival for the Breton cultural identity and language. The Breton language is at a critical point in its history in that the twenty-first century is at the risk to see the near-total disappearance of traditional Breton speakers as this group of people grows older.

Saint John of Damascus (c. 676 - 749). The Orthodox Faith, Librivox Audiobook - Part 1. [Translated by Rev. S. D. F. Salmond (1838 - 1905)]
The Orthodox Faith is the classic epitome of the Early Greek Fathers. Writing just before the last of the truly Ecumenical Councils (787), he remains to this day, the last of the Eastern theologians whole-heartedly received by the West. This work, then, is an ecumenical touchstone that remains authoritative in Eastern Orthodoxy.

NS On the Virtue of Self Control
"One expects that a person who drives a car is in control, and that he causes no accidents... so that he does not endanger himself or others. The forces within us can raise or lower us. It depends on the use we make of them, on whether we control them and therefore ourselves. Hunger and thirst exist to be satisfied. But woe to him who eats for the sake of eating or drinks for the sake of drinking. He is lower than an animal that knows when it has had enough."
"We eat and drink to live, but we never live in order to eat and drink. The body must be kept under iron discipline so that we are always in charge of it and it is always dependable..."
"Command yourself so that you can master yourself... You must in order to become a real man. That is the secret of every great personality."
Stellrecht, H. (1943). Glauben und Handeln.

Bearing patience with our kinsmen
"Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busy-body, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong, that it is akin to me, not only of the same blood or seed, but that it participates in the same intelligence and the same portion of the divinity, I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate him. For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one another then is contrary to nature; and it is acting against one another to be vexed and to turn away."
Marcus Aurelius. The Meditations.
