As Edwina took pains to lay low in Malta after the scandals of her affairs, Italy decided to exit the League of Nations and invade Ethiopia. To protect their children, she took them to Budapest and installed them in a hotel with their nanny and governess... and then forgot which hotel they were in. For months. As the summer of 1935 turned to fall, and then winter, they just stayed in their hotel until Edwina finally came across the paper she'd written the hotel's name on, tucked into the pocket of an outfit she hadn't worn in a while. Careless people. But then World War II came, and with so much asked of ordinary Britons, the privileged were required to step up. For perhaps the first time in her life, the skills and networking that Edwina had spent her life developing could suddenly be applied to a grand purpose: fundraising, organizing, lobbying for help in the United States. Louis was in the fight as a Naval officer, but Edwina was equally engaged, and the experience brought them together as never before. They would have further adventures together in India, overseeing the end of the Colonial period there, and form a distinct attachment to Indian Prime Minister Nehru that would last to the end of her life in 1960.

Episode #559: “Comrade,” Renata says, when asked how she would like to be remembered. A member of the People's Defense Force and a former political prisoner, she uses the word to name what sustains her in Myanmar's revolution: loyalty to those who have suffered, fought, been jailed, and died. Before the 2021 coup, Renata was a law student who describes her life as centered on study and office work. Following the coup, she hesitated initially to take part in direct action, and instead chose to participate online, calling herself a “keyboard fighter” then. But as the crackdowns intensified, she joined street protests, and then learned to make Molotov cocktails and small bombs for her brother and his friends. In June 2021, she was arrested with her mother and four-year-old sister, who became the country's youngest political prisoner. Renata was sentenced to three years with hard labor but freed after four months upon signing a pledge not to participate in revolutionary activity. She describes prison as lasting trauma. After her release, she joined the PDF in northern Shan State. Jungle life revolved around food and water scarcity, physical endurance, and evading airstrikes and landmines. For young people anxious to join the resistance, she says they must prepare physically and mentally for hunger, discrimination, sleeplessness, and trauma; women, she adds, will face additional burdens. Her own ability to sustain herself through these challenges is rooted in her relationships with her comrades and her dedication to defeating the junta. Yet Renata still allows herself to imagine a peaceful future after this long struggle. “Please keep on watching our revolution!” she pleads to the international audience.

In 1975, Kuwaiti workers orchestrated arguably the most powerful citizen-led movement for noncitizen rights in the history of the Persian Gulf. Their efforts built on decades of wide-ranging struggle over the meanings and outlines of citizenship. During the twentieth century, anticolonial nationalists, pro-democracy reformers, feminists, and labor organizers joined forces to fight for a more equitable citizenship regime. In so doing, they won a remarkable series of victories: political independence, constitutional rights, and oil nationalization, reshaping not just Kuwait, but the global petroleum order. This book reframes the history of labor activism, citizenship, and decolonization in Persian Gulf by centering the history of social movements—especially organized labor. In Comrades Estranged: Labor and Citizenship in the Twentieth-Century Persian Gulf (Stanford University Press, 2026), Alex Boodrookas traces how workers and their allies shaped the world-historic transformations witnessed across the region: the consolidation of British sovereignty, formation of autocratic states, inrush of hydrocarbon wealth, onset of decolonization, and rise of both mass migration and mass politics. But unions failed to incorporate noncitizens into their movement, and as Boodrookas argues, this fatally undermined the movements' strength. The contradictions of nationalist and internationalist visions proved insurmountable. Comrades Estranged thus sheds light on both the power, and the limits, of citizenship and the nation-state as the framework for political action.

Alex Milne joins the pod just four days after his fourth-place finish at Comrades. Alex reflects on missing the podium by only 58 seconds, his huge race block from Valencia to Seville, Worlds 50K, London and Comrades, and how he is now building toward the 100K World Championships in Spain.

He explains why he was happy with the performance overall, but still frustrated to miss the podium by just 58 seconds, and talks through the difficulty of knowing your exact race position during an ultra like Comrades. Alex also breaks down one of the busiest racing blocks in elite distance running, including Valencia, Seville where he ran a 2:11:41 PB, the World 50K Championships, London Marathon while sick, and then Comrades. He explains why he prefers racing often, recovering well, and building through shorter but effective training blocks rather than long uninterrupted build-ups. Matt and Alex discuss how he balances elite training with teaching and parenting, using run-commutes, long lunch breaks, and consistent Box Hill hill sessions. Alex shares details around his 45-65K long runs, threshold work, race-specific Comrades sessions, fueling approach with Nomyo, Flycarb bicarbonate, high carbohydrate intake, sodium needs, heat training through hot baths, strength work, physio, and his plans for the 100K World Championships in Spain on September 20.

Most runners dream of completing one Comrades Marathon. Donovan Shirley decided to run it twice in 24 hours. Donovan Shirley joined East Coast Breakfast to talk about his extraordinary "Get Back Up" challenge, running the Comrades route from Pietermaritzburg to Durban before turning around and joining the official race back to Pietermaritzburg. Donovan shares why the 2026 Comrades theme "Ska Fela Moya" resonates so deeply with him, and how this challenge is about much more than kilometres. Through his run, Donovan is raising awareness and funds for mental health organisations SADAG and Matthew and Me, a non-profit created in memory of Matthew Grant, a teenager who lost his battle with depression. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, men's mental health, purpose, and what it means to get back up when life knocks you down. Webpage

In this heartwarming and informative conversation, Stacey and J Sbu chat to two first-time Comrades Marathon runners with very different, yet equally inspiring stories. Durban's Brandon van Loggerenberg, 20, shares why he chose one of the world's most iconic ultra marathons to test his physical and mental limits. They also speak to Zaahida, a 42-year-old entrepreneur, mentor, wife and mother, who is finally living out a childhood dream despite overcoming significant health challenges and barriers to representation in endurance sport. If you missed it live, listen in to hear how determination, resilience and a belief in yourself can turn seemingly impossible goals into reality.

James' Comrades race report from 2012 Down - a Comrades documentary

With the Comrades Marathon just days away, many runners unknowingly sabotage months of training during the final week. From panic training and poor sleep to trying new shoes, supplements, and race nutrition, the mistakes made before race day can have a bigger impact than the race itself. On CapeTalk and 702, fitness presenter, endurance athlete, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane to discuss the biggest Comrades Week pitfalls and how runners can arrive at the start line physically fresh and mentally prepared. Drawing on her experience as an endurance athlete and her years commentating from both the Comrades Marathon start and finish lines, Liezel shares practical advice on avoiding comparison, managing race anxiety, navigating the Expo wisely, and getting carbohydrate loading right. If you are running Comrades or supporting someone who is, this conversation could be the difference between surviving race day and thriving on it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En agosto de 1914 los diputados socialdemócratas alemanes votaron en el Reichstag a favor de los créditos de guerra para financiar la entrada del imperio alemán en la primera guerra mundial. Aquel gesto acabó con la idea que tenían los marxistas de la época de que el proletariado, hermanado por encima de las fronteras nacionales, jamás se mataría en una guerra imperialista. La solidaridad de clase se evaporó en pocos días y los obreros se decantaron por su propio país. Esa traición enfureció a Lenin, exiliado en Suiza, que concluyó que la socialdemocracia se había aburguesado y que había que demoler el viejo edificio socialista para crear una organización de auténticos revolucionarios. En una serie de conferencias minoritarias que dio en Suiza defendió que era el momento de transformar la guerra en una revolución. Eso mismo fue lo que sucedió en Rusia en octubre de 1917 y Lenin se sintió reivindicado. Pero sabía que con Rusia no bastaría para consolidar esa revolución porque era un país agrario y pobre. Tenían que exportar la revolución a Europa occidental, especialmente a Alemania, para que sobreviviese. Eso dio lugar en marzo de 1919 a la Tercera Internacional o Comintern, concebida desde el principio como el estado mayor de la revolución mundial. Su modelo era el partido bolchevique, una máquina centralizada en la que cada partido nacional sería una sección sometida a una disciplina única. El segundo congreso de 1920 fijó 21 condiciones de admisión que partieron al movimiento obrero en dos familias enfrentadas, la de los socialdemócratas y la de los comunistas. Pero la revolución mundial no llegaba. El Ejército Rojo fue derrotado en Varsovia, los comunistas alemanes fracasaron y el capitalismo se estabilizó gracias, entre otras cosas, a que los partidos socialdemócratas llegaron al poder en Alemania, Francia y el Reino Unido. Tras la muerte de Lenin en 1924, Stalin fue eliminando a sus rivales e impuso a la Comintern su teoría del socialismo en un solo país. El ascenso de los nazis al poder obligó a Stalin a hacer algo. En el séptimo congreso, celebrado en 1935, adoptaron la estrategia del Frente Popular, una alianza amplia antifascista que ganó las elecciones en Francia y España en 1936. España pasó entonces a ocupar un lugar central a causa de su guerra civil. La Comintern se encargó de reclutar soldados de 50 países a los que encuadró en las Brigadas Internacionales. Los soviéticos, entretanto, enviaron consejeros y material militar, este último pagado con las reservas del Banco de España. Pero la Comintern ya estaba en crisis, sus principales líderes cayeron durante la gran purga de 1938 y Stalin no le encontraba mucho sentido a aquel organismo. El pacto germano-soviético de 1939 supuso una humillación para los comunistas europeos, forzados a predicar la neutralidad hasta que la invasión alemana de la URSS en 1941 reactivó la cruzada antifascista. En mayo de 1943 Stalin decidió disolver la Comintern como gesto diplomático hacia sus aliados occidentales. Años después la sustituiría por una agencia mucho más pequeña, la Cominform, que tuvo muy poca actividad y desapareció tras su muerte. No hicieron falta más organizaciones para coordinar la actividad de los partidos comunistas. La URSS era ya una potencia mundial y podía llegar sin problemas a donde quisiese, cuando quisiese.

Ele cresceu em um ambiente familiar complexo, marcado por conflitos desde muito cedo. Na infância, encontrou no esporte um espaço de expressão. Entre brincadeiras de rua, futebol e natação, construiu uma relação com o movimento que se tornaria central em sua vida. Na escola, enfrentou dificuldades de aprendizagem, convivendo com o TDAH ainda sem diagnóstico e episódios de bullying. Com esforço e apoio de amigos, concluiu os estudos e decidiu seguir o caminho mais natural: ingressou na Educação Física. Ainda na graduação, iniciou como professor de natação infantil. Quando surgiu a oportunidade, foi trabalhar na Reebok Sports Club, onde construiu uma base sólida na preparação física, evoluindo de estagiário a professor. Nesse período, teve contato com a corrida e, em 2001, participou de sua primeira prova de 10 km. Formou-se em 2002 e, dois anos depois, fundou a Equilíbrio Treinamento, especializada em condicionamento físico. No ano seguinte, estreou no triathlon e, em 2006, completou sua primeira maratona. Nesse mesmo ano, um acidente marcou um ponto de inflexão, impulsionando uma transformação pessoal e o aprofundamento nos estudos em treinamento desportivo. Em busca dessa transformação, decidiu participar de um Ironman e em 2007 completou sua primeira prova em Florianópolis. Nos anos seguintes, seguiu utilizando o esporte como ferramenta de autoconhecimento. Em 2010, casou-se e passou uma temporada em San Diego, vivendo intensamente o triathlon. Em 2011, alcançou seu melhor tempo na distância de Ironman até então, em St. George. A partir de 2013, voltou o foco para a corrida, especialmente para a maratona. Em 2018, fundou a EQ Performance. Os anos de experiência o ajudaram a estabelecer um novo recorde pessoal no Ironman em 2023 e no ano passado, depois de 10 anos, fechou o circuito das seis majors em Tóquio, com 2h48, sua melhor marca na maratona. Hoje ele soma 25 maratonas, uma participação na Comrades, 6 Ironman e 18 Ironman 70.3, integrando prática e conhecimento na construção de sua metodologia. Conosco aqui, um treinador e atleta com mais de 20 anos de experiência, formado em Educação Física, pós-graduado em treinamento desportivo e metodologia do treinamento individualizado, com especialização em coaching pelo Instituto Tony Robbins, nos Estados Unidos, que hoje aprofunda seus estudos em neurociência da performance e produtividade humana, fundador da Equilíbrio Treinamento, da EQ Performance e presidente do Instituto Rise, o paulistano Rodolfo Vieira Lessa de Siqueira.

With Comrades just weeks away, the hard work is largely done — but for many runners, this is when the nerves, doubt, and overthinking really begin.In this episode of this special Making A Runner Comrades mini-series, Nic dives into the emotional and physical realities of the final few weeks before race day. Drawing from both his own experiences running Comrades and years of coaching athletes through the journey, this episode focuses on how to approach the taper period with confidence, perspective, and calmness.Nic unpacks:What runners should realistically expect to feel during the final weeksWhy fatigue, flatness, and self-doubt are completely normalThe Comrades Up Run Race Breakdown (https://www.instagram.com/p/DYhETIdDrm1/?igsh=Y25weHdvdHlsc243)Common mistakes athletes make late in a Comrades buildHow to manage emotions, comparison, and race anxietyThe importance of arriving healthy, fresh, and mentally readyWhy restraint and recovery become the real training in the final phaseThe episode also explores the emotional significance of Comrades itself — why this race is different, what makes it so special, and why trusting the process matters more now than ever before.Whether you're preparing for your first Comrades or returning for another medal, this conversation is designed to help you slow down the noise, trust your training, and approach race day with clarity and confidence.We hope you enjoy the episode and find it insightful.

Dr. Paul Thigpen reflects on Christ the victorious commander, the help of Mary, the saints, the angels and the strength of faithful Christian companions.

Comrades from the CPGB-ML visited the London Soviet Memorial, erected in 1999, to honour the 27 million Soviet citizens who gave their lives to smash fascism which secured the success of revolutions across the world and marked the beginning of the world's exit out of the explicit colonial era (with neocolonialism taking its place). Today, the history of who contributed the most towards this victory has been distorted by the Western imperialist states; it is no longer the Soviet Union in their history books but the U.S, the U.K, France et cetera. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

In this major new interpretation of Sino-North Korean relations, Dr. Gregg A. Brazinsky argues that neither the PRC nor the DPRK would have survived as socialist states without the ideal of Sino-North Korean friendship. Chinese and North Korean leaders encouraged mutual empathy and sentimental attachments between their citizens and then used these emotions to strengthen popular commitment to socialist state building. Drawing on an array of previously unexamined Chinese and North Korean sources, in Cold War Comrades: An Emotional History of the Sino-North Korean Alliance (Cambridge UP, 2026), Dr. Brazinsky shows how mutual empathy helped to shape political, military, and cultural interactions between the two socialist allies. He explains why the unique relationship that Beijing and Pyongyang forged during the Korean War remained important throughout the Cold War and how it continues to influence the international relations of East Asia today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Springhill HeroesWhen I was a wee buck growing up in Ballymurphy there was a river at the back of the houses across from our home place at the corner of Glenalina Road and Divismore Park. The river ran the length of our street and the length of Ballymurphy Road before exiting below the Whiterock Road and into the City Cemetery. From there it meanders down to and under the Falls Road beside the Bus Depot and onwards to the Bog Meadows. You can see it there to this day.  The stretch which used to border our street was long ago captured and incarcerated in a pipe below ground.Before then it was one of our favourite places to play. The Ordinance Survey maps name this rivulet as the Ballymurphy Stream.  I can't find its Irish name. It rises in the mountain and cuts under the Springfield Road beneath a very high arch just up from our street. It used to be at its widest at that point. Perfect for jumping. Swinging across on a rope. Falling in. Catching frogs. Plastic sandals were all the go. Perfect for walking on water.  Tiocfaidh ár láIt does not feel as if 45 years have passed since the death on 5 May 1981 of Bobby Sands on hunger strike. Bobby's death and that of his nine comrades changed so much in our struggle and opened up so many new opportunities that it is rightly viewed as a tipping point in recent Irish history.On Sunday former hunger striker Pat Sheehan MLA gave a wonderful speech at Bobby's statue in Twinbrook. The courage and heroism of the ten men who died and those who took part in the hunger strike, and of Michael Gaughan and Frank Stagg, are a huge part of our republican history.  But we should never lose sight of the fact that Bobby and his comrades in the H-Blocks and in Armagh Women's Prison were more than political prisoners. They were family members, friends, neighbours. Comrades. They were ordinary young men and women who enjoyed life.  Free Marwan BargoutiFreedom struggles across the globe have their heroes. Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara, Bobby Sands and in Palestine, Marwan Bargouti .Last September a mural celebrating Marwan's leadership and resistance to Israeli occupation and the oppression of the Palestinian people,was unveiled at the international wall on Bóthár na bhFál. Two weeks ago at the Ard Fheis I met with Marwan's son Arab. Since then we have spoken by zoom. His family and those, like me, who believe he should be released are fearful for his life.

She ran UTMB, TDS, Comrades, and the Annapurna Circuit solo. Last year she ran 300 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas at The Speed Project and finished second among all solo women — partly through a heat wave, partly running out of water in the desert, partly navigating on her own with an RV that couldn't go off-road.Now she's coming to Arizona for her first Cocodona 250.In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, Kevin and Peter sit down with Holly Stables, elite marathoner turned ultrarunner, co-founder of RushByNature, and co-host of the Running Won't Save You podcast, for a conversation about what happens when you can't go faster and start going further instead. Holly talks about the arc from running the same marathon time over and over again to eventually just wanting to do something completely different, what she learned navigating 300 miles of the American Southwest with almost no support, and what excites and terrifies her about a race that's actually organized, has aid stations, and goes somewhere on a marked course.She's contractually obligated to play in the Mingus Basketball Association. It's in her sponsorship agreement. She knows this.Cocodona 250 kicks off Monday, May 4th at 5 AM Pacific. Follow the action live on the Mountain Outpost YouTube channel.

Comrades, welcome to a special audio-only broadcast of The Eastern Border. (Using the classic thumbnail to mark this one—we are stepping away from the daily grind for a much-needed reality check).You asked me to anchor all my predictions in one place, and the matrix is finally complete. This episode is a gauntlet thrown directly at the white-paper dreamers in Western think-tanks. For four years, analysts have tried to predict the outcome of this war using “Game Theory,” calculating what is in “Russia's national interests.” They are dead wrong. Why? Because “Russia” as a functioning nation-state no longer exists.Join me as we run the hard telemetry through our Ponyatiya (Mafia code) analytics engine. We aren't looking at a geopolitical superpower; we are auditing a failing cartel. We are watching Putin's cohort of capos and property managers frantically loot the remaining obshchak (communal fund) to secure their offshore exit strategies before a weakened Tsar loses his grip.From the fatal 4.6 trillion ruble Q1 deficit and the Russian Railways logistics death spiral, to the impending frontline cartel war (VP = ВСУ), the rise of Bratva 2.0, urban race riots, and the inevitable decolonization stampede of Chechnya, Tatarstan, and Belarus—this is the unvarnished, deterministic math of a collapsing empire.August 2026 is the event horizon. The Godfather's check is about to bounce.

"Intercourse between Bolshevism and Sinn Féin" These were the words one British newspaper used to describe the relationship between the Irish Republican movement and the fledgling Soviet Union during the Irish Revolution. It was an unlikely pairing. Ireland became a deeply conservative, Catholic country where communism was viewed with suspicion and fear. Yet during the Irish War of Independence, as British forces fought republicans across the island, whispers of Soviet support and communist sympathy rippled through both Dublin and London.But how real was this link? Did the IRA truly seek Soviet weapons and backing? And what did Moscow make of Irish republicanism?
