Guy Lodge Film CriticMany people, when faced with the old question of who they’d invite to their dream dinner party, dutifully reel off a list of historical titans, which tends to prompt further, usually unasked questions: Would these undoubtedly interesting and consequential individuals make for great company together? Would they have much to say to each each other? And would it make for a better evening than, say, a gathering of your regular, undistinguished drinking buddies? Ever-experimental Russian formalist Alexander Sokurov drolly hints at the answer in his eccentric new film “Fairytale,” though not exactly in a dinner party context: Most of us aren’t hungry to spend an evening clinking glasses with Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, after all. Still, this brief, dreamlike musing assembles them — along with other daunting dead men of history, from Churchill to Mussolini to Jesus himself — in a kind of misty purgatory where they’re at liberty to converse.

Vladimir Putin is "more dangerous" than both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, the Polish Prime Minister has claimed. Mateusz Morawiecki said that the Russian President is more of a threat as he has advanced weapons at his disposal, such as a nuclear arsenal.He also noted that, compared to the 20th century dictators, Putin can channel "the new media at his fingertips to spread his propaganda" more effectively.

The monkey, spotted near the Kinabatangan River in Malaysian Borneo, appears to be a combination of two different species that are actually competing for forest space, a new study suggested.However, a much stranger breeding project was attempted a century ago when a hybrid between humans and other animals was planned in a bid to supplement the armed forces and create a perfect “factory” for transplant organs.In the 1920s Soviet scientists in Russia were ordered by dictator Joseph Stalin to create a hybrid ape-man “super soldier” capable of working under extreme conditions too dangerous for ordinary humans.Secret documents from the time, declassified in the 1990s, show that Kremlin chiefs wanted an unbeatable army of man-apes with "immense strength but with an underdeveloped brain” that were "resilient and resistant to hunger".And similar efforts are actually ongoing today.In 2019 a team of scientists led by Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte from the US Salk Institute for Biological Studies reportedly created a human-monkey hybrid which survived for 19 days.The 1920s project was led by Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov – a biologist whose life’s work centred around the cross-breeding of humans and apes using artificial insemination.The project does not appear to have been successful but, in the 1970s, the emergence of an alleged “mutant” chimp with eerily human characteristics reawakened the “humanzee” idea.Oliver, a performing ape that was reported to have been a human–chimpanzee hybrid, appeared to be much more intelligent that other chimps and had rather less body hair.However, post-mortem testing showed that Oliver had the same genetic makeup as any normal chimpanzee.In the 1980s, reports emerged of an experiment in

The Death Of Stalin.The actor said in a new interview that Putin’s briefings could be outtakes from Armando Iannucci’s satire on Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union leader’s legacy.“The Death of Stalin is so prescient; some scenes could be directly ripped from the news,” he said in a fan Q&A published by The Guardian.“Putin’s press conference where he lined up all of his cabinet members could have been a monstrously less funny outtake. I find it terrifying that one of the best hopes is that somebody in Putin’s circle will reach across that 300-foot table and put an end to this.

Vladimir Putin of trying to starve Ukraine into submission after his initial military assault has stalled.Russian forces launched their invasion plans in late February and have been held back by brave Ukrainian forces, resulting in the Kremlin changing tactics.Speaking to a special meeting at Ireland’s parliament, he said: "This night, our territory was again hit by Russian missiles. They are destroying things that are sustaining livelihoods to people."They also have blocked all of our sea ports, together with the vessels that had already agricultural cargoes for exports."Why are they doing this? Because for them hunger is a weapon against us, ordinary people as an instrument of domination”.In the strategically-important city of Mariupol — where some 170,000 people are believed to be trapped by the Russian siege — food had virtually run out by March 13 with no aid convoys managing to get through since then.

Ukraine have spiralled in recent days with the brutality of troops being likened to ISIS.Yesterday (April 3) a mass grave containing the bodies of 57 civilians was found in the town of Bucha, near to Kyiv, where Russian troops have been forced out.The latest grave was found with several corpses only partially buried or not buried at all while bodies of men, women and children were also seen strewn across roads.There have also been reports of Russians executing unarmed Ukrainians, some of them children. Reacting to the developments on Twitter, Stalin historian Simon Montefiore said the barbarity was not unlike that which the former Soviet leader was famed for. He said: "Today in 1940, Stalin & Beria started the murder of 22000 Poles in Katyn Forest.

James Corden hate train continues, and apparently, The Chase is part of the crowd who vehemently despises the late night host. During an episode of the popular gameshow, contestant Tom went up against Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan and was given a question that read: "In Stephen Fry's novel 'Making History', the hero changes time to try and prevent the birth of which figure?"Of the three possible answer choices, Corden's name could be found alongside Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler—which is probably not the pair anyone would ever like to be grouped with.
