Great post Shag! I had read about Pohzar as “the Russian Firestorm” but never took the time to actually read what his deal was. This explains it very succinctly.

He reminds me of Dmitri Bhukharin — the fifth Crimson Dynamo — in that he was the Soviet equivalent of the hero who eventually outlasted the Cold War and become something of an ally. Also, neither seemed all that interested in the Party despite being Communists (which can be contrasted with, say, Titanium Man, who was a staunch Communist).

Great information. I have the potentially dubious (given the backlash of your podcast of prior events) distinction of offering up the idea of touching on previous stories you and Rob liked, but this is right up my alley.

Thanks!

@liquidcross – If that’s what you want, be sure to come back tomorrow!

I would have include some today, but I gotta space these things out. They gotta last a whole week.
