	Some of these questions are worded funny (For A it might make more sense to state that the Soviet Union attacked that country; more clarity for the I question- a phrase referring to what? (even if the answer is still fairly clear); Red Soldiers as well as Red Army for R based on how it's worded), some of the answers are very picky (Domino Effect should be an acceptable answer for D, Bolshevism for B), and the names are inconsistent, as 4 refer to the last name, and 2 to the first name.

	The Sputnik I satellite carried no animals. It was Sputnik II. And it wasn't a monkey but a female dog (Laika).

	You can't simply put molotov cocktail and get it, so you may want to fix that.

	khrushchev is spelled for you on 'V'.

	The problem with the spelling of Khrushchev is the transliteration from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet. See how simple it's in Russian: Хрущёв. Six letters instead of ten.

	Accept Molotov-Ribbentrop pact/agreement or any variation for nazi-soviet nonagression

	DefDude:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 03:27 GMT	0 points
	Nobody refers to it as the "Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression pact," but instead as Molotov-Ribbentrop, as noted above; additionally, though the planned partition of eastern Europe was undeclared, the pact itself was quite publicized so calling it "secret" is a little misleading. Also, Xinjiang is the Chinese province invaded by the Soviet Union in 1934; that the operation is referred to as "The invasion of Xinjiang" for lack of a formal operational title doesn't make the single word synonymous with the campaign title in the same way the "Barbarossa" can be used to describe the German invasion of the USSR.
