SOVIET HELLSCAPE

Written and illustrated by the white devil.

Once, deep within the pages of yore, there lived a species of bipedal creatures that called themselves man, and their species mankind or humanity. These bipedal apes were once indistinguishable from common apes and most creatures in the African safari. But deep within the crevices of these seemingly animalistic barbarian's minds, was a phenom- enal level of intelligence and sociability. So much so that they slowly die without social interaction with other human beings.

Though, unlike most creatures, mankind was not only highly intelligent and very social, but impressively cunning and built. They had extraordinarily built bodies that allowed them to tire out large beasts and then slaughter them with the help of others. Not that, other human species haven't tried this before. Neanderthals, (discovered in the 1800s by mankind) were built with such muscle and physical mass that they were easily capable of going mano on mano with most creatures. Even the modern chimpanzees or gorillas! And the ancient sabertooths of yore! But, there was a major problem. One that would slowly boil and dwell within even the earliest human civilizations, a problem that would gradually and eventually lead to their ultimate destruction. The hunger for money, power, and sex. Greed, Authoritarianism, and lust.

These three natural lusts that all men have, would slowly but deliberately burn the entire species back down to the very earth that they crawled out from.

Humanity however flawed they were, still manage to survive for millions of years. Mankind has done wondrous and glorious things unimaginable to ponies. They traveled to the moon, created the worldwide web to store all knowledge, launched a satellite into space, created medicine capable of fending off even the most fatal of illnesses, built large tall mechanical beings capable of doing great things, conquered nature itself, and they even learned how to harness the power of the universe. Nuclear fission and fusion.

Nuclear Power is an incredibly efficient and clean form of energy, created through two types of reaction. Basically, fission is when atoms erratically smash together to form energy whilst fusion is when atoms fuse together. These two reactions had amazing uses and potential, afterall, fusion is how the universe gets its power and energy from. Mankind started inventing remarkable things, power stations, vehicles, robots, technology, numerous inventions but not enough time to explain. But, this was when things started to take the turn for the worst. The atom bomb. Two bombs, killed 200,000+ people in a few days. The stories I have heard from those survivors and the things I have read from biographies, history books, and military documents. Haunt my damned dreams.

A country called the united states of America committed mass genocide in a war fought over the atrocities of three other global powers. Nazi Germany, imperial Japan, and the soviet union. Over 120+ million human beings were horrifically slaughtered in the largest war in human history and all for imperialist gain and mass genocide. This massive and brutal war would lead to the most horrifying atrocities our kind will ever see.

A massive proxy war, called the cold war was waged after a country called the people's republic of north korea, the DPRK invaded their southern neighbor. This was the final spark that would ignite a dangerous war between two major superpowers. Both were evil greedy nations polluted with asinine and incessant propaganda uses to demonize the other. So the powerful could maintain their "rightful" power.

Entire countries, completely innocent from the age-old war of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, were leveled. Cuba, vietnam, korea, Cambodia, Africa, South America, Grenada, the middle east. They only wanted to free themselves from the evil boot of American corporations who stole and exploited their lands. Even going as far as to fund terrorists and guerilla groups to forcefully evict and slaughter people.

These evil men went to the American CIA with bribery to send American troops and agents. To completely level entire countries and install American puppet leaders who in actuality were dictators. Worse than the alleged evil mem like Castro or Sankara.

Children, barely older than a foal, were sent to die brutal deaths in foreign lands to keep the American Military in charge. They forced children into military service like in the olden days of equestrian yore. However, it wasn't righteous service, they were not defending their lands. But destroying those of others. Tens of millions dead in less than half a decade. And millions more dead within two and a half.

The Soviets invaded Afghanistan and created the mujahideen who would split up into the Taliban guerilla fighters and al-Qaeda terrorists. These groups would lead to even worse groups like AQI which would birth IS and then finally ISIS. Hundreds of thousands of people would die from 1979 till late 1989. It was vietnam all over again. Many more wars would accrue after 1991, too many to count.

The tension only grew as Russia suffered but still managed to rise, especially after the elected president Vladimir Putin would be elected. Eventually, after almost seventy years since the creation of the first atomic bomb. The oil disputes between Pakistan and India, which would then involve the middle east. And then lastly Russia and America. This would lead to a dangerous miscalculation.

In two brief hours, the once vibrant countries of the western world and eastern world. Would be rendered forlorn desolate husks of suicidal genocide and misery. Almost forty thousand pounds of nuclear weapons would be launched at every major city in the world. Every military base, missile silo, airfield, city, major population zone, almost everything.
Almost everything and everyone was killed or leveled entirely in a few hours. A little over ten billion people dead from the destruction and radiation. Hundreds of millions more would soon follow them to hell from the nuclear winter.

A once lively bright world of technological wonder. Now rendered a dark cold vast sphere of death and destruction. Where billions upon billions of utterly innocent and highly advanced people were slaughtered by their own primal instincts from unwritten yore. A truly devastating and horrifying tale this place is.

Some say you can hear the anguish and frightful cries and moans of billions in the frozen blizzard. Creating a deathly howl of betrayal and dire misery, the effects of evil forced upon them. They faded into the brutal background radiation. Acting as an invisible and inevitable threat that'll kill you, eventually. They have become death, the destroyers of their entire planet and all life on it. To you, it may seem like a fitting end to a clearly evil species without a purpose. But, they were not all evil. Most of the dead were innocent.

They weren't evil, they were victims of evil.

In a world with no sound, their cries go unheard. The reality of life becomes totally absurd. The counting of time is considered a crime. And the money once earned not worth a lone dime. So here they will lie for the rest of the night. Their bodies remain still in darkness and in light. But don't be afraid, as it will happen to you, when all will stop as your body turns blue.

One of the most haunting things I had seen was in the walls of the Moscow Kremlin. Within the halls of that ancient forlorn husk of medieval Tsardom architecture, was tens of millions of dead rotting corpses and skeletons. Some had been looted or murdered, others were horrifically raped and brutalized. In the hallway of the Kremlin were a few hundred rotting corpses of elderly, sick, infantile, and pregnant. The smell was god awful and suffocating even under the old dusty gas mask covering my muzzle and snout.

One scene, in particular, was that of a raped and mutilated twelve-year-old girl. She had been impregnated after being molested and sodomized by a corrupt Russian politician. Her body lay motionless on the floor whilst flies and bugs pillaged her rotting corpse. The insides of her body had been ripped out by a horribly injured and mutated dog, it was her pet when she used to be alive in this god-awful wasteland. However, the worst part didn't come until I found her dog. The dog had dark green fur, several yellow boils, and many scars and lacerations.

The horrific beast was eating the flesh of the rotting corpse of a dead deformed and mutated fetus, it had died in a miscarriage that led the girl to be beaten to death. That taught me one thing, not all humans are evil, most were victims of evil. I knew not what the weapons of the third world war were fought with, but I know that this one will be fought with sticks and stones these people were victims of genocidal suicide.

They knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, but most people were silent.
I remembered a line from the hindu scripture, the bhagavad gita. Rishnu was trying to persuade the prince, he should do his duty. And to impress him he takes on his multi-armed form, and says.

I have become death, destroyer of worlds.
