Been listening more and more often, so did the favor of subbing as you requested. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge and experience. Unrelated to training, I often hear people claim that they speak this or that language only to discover they mean they've got the ability to say "hello" and count to 10. Establishing terms is the foundation of true communication.

I think that questions like the ones regarding soviet training secrets are an expresion of human nature. It's like the saying that the grass is always greener on the neighbours side.
For some people it's hard to understand that just because someone lived under a certain political regime didn't change the way his body functioned.

I wish more people studied epistemology. In this day and age, truth or even a semblance of truth is very hard to find.

So Sedyk stated that he did not do anything that Bondarchuk "wrote about" and instead was doing something "significantly different"? So where can one find out that material?
