The attempt to stop World War II by the Soviet government is one of the events that happened this week of November. We will also talk about the end of the Russian Civil War, the first submarine with ballistic capability and the first Russian railway.

November starts with one of the greatest milestones in space history: the flight of Laika. But in the first week of November many other significant events took place in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union. We will remember the day when the Russian Provisional Government was captured during the October Revolution, when the last red star was installed in the Kremlin, or when it became possible to travel at the speed of sound on a commercial flight.

We finished this month with interesting Russian and Soviet history facts. It was in one last week of October when the body of Stalin was moved to a new location, when the most powerful bomb in history was detonated or when the Cuban missile crisis ended.

In the third week of October remarkable events took place in the history of Russia, like the day the Russian Navy was born or the last day of the KGB. It was also in October when Napoleon was forced to leave his goal of conquering Moscow or when one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world started using metal for their designs.

At the second week of September, we will discover the most remarkable Cold War event. We will also visit two second World War moments: the evacuation of Moscow and the liberation of Riga.

We start a new month discovering interesting facts about the history of Russia and the Soviet Union. For example, the first supersonic airliner, the most famous artificial satellite in history and the first vehicle to orbit the Moon.

The last week of September brings us interesting events in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union. We will start with the independence of Lithuania and the capture of a Soviet spy in Japan.

What happened in the third week of September throughout Russian history? The composer Igor Stravinsky returned to Russia after 48 years, the first Akula class submarine was launched, and the war between Finland and the Soviet Union ended.

A "flying ace" is a military pilot credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircrafts in combat. In the history of aerial warfare, there have been only two women who have reached this category.

It was in September when one of the greatest military figures in history made it to the Moscow Kremlin. As we will now see, the second week of September has provided us with very interesting historical facts: from Russia's problems in Alaska in the nineteenth century to a Madonna concert in the XXI century.
