Amalia claimed that documents uncovered from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) showed that Moscow was funding AKEL with the aim of preventing the union of Cyprus with Greece. According to her, the funding served Soviet interests, as Greece was a NATO member. She stated that the money was channeled through the International Trade Union Assistance Fund for Left-Wing Labor Organizations, which she described as a cover for the KGB, and that the allocations were approved by the Political Bureau of the CPSU. She mentioned Yuri Andropov as responsible for transferring the funds. According to Amalia, six annual reports for the period 1961-1973 recorded remittances to AKEL amounting to $56,000 in 1961, $56,222 in 1962, $56,000 in 1963, $69,722 in 1965, $70,000 in 1966, and $140,000 in 1973, totaling $447,944. She added that these amounts did not necessarily constitute the total aid received by the party, as, she wrote, documents for all the years had not been declassified. She also mentioned that AKEL had received weapons from Moscow. She wrote that the Central Committee of the CPSU approved, at the request of AKEL's General Secretary Ezekias Papayiannou, the shipment of 100 Walther pistols and 25,000 cartridges. According to the posting, the weapons were sent on June 13, 1974, and delivered on July 4. Amalia questioned the stated purpose in the documents — the protection of AKEL leadership and other persons — and claimed that the weapons were intended for terrorist actions against EOKA B. Finally, she stated that Makarios had received weapons from Czechoslovakia, with Moscow's approval, in late January 1972. According to her, these were unloaded in the area of Kseros and transported with about 50 trucks to the Archdiocese in Nicosia. #Κύπρος #ΑΚΕΛ #ιστορία (translated)

Tasos7 wrote that Michalis Kountouris took over in June 2011, when the amateur Olympiacos had four active team sections and debts of over 7 million, double that of what, according to him, Panathinaikos had when it relegated some of its teams to the A2. According to the post, from 1925 to 2011 the club had won 84 titles in team sports, of which four were European. Tasos7 mentioned that in the 15 years of Kountouris' management, Olympiacos won 145 titles, including 13 European ones. He also provided a tally of 145-20 titles, 60-11 championships, and 13-0 European titles against Panathinaikos, as well as a streak of 50-0 against them. He claimed that the rival relegated its teams to the A2 to avoid the matchups. The author also noted that new sections were created, such as women's basketball, women's football, and women's handball. Regarding women's basketball, he pointed out that it had won 9 out of 11 championships, while handball had surpassed AEK in championships and total titles. He added that the two women's teams would compete in the top division from the following year. Tasos7 wrote that the debts were settled through more than 150 agreements and repayments, and that the construction of a swimming pool was underway, a longstanding request, as he mentioned, for Piraeus. For individual sports, he noted that swimming maintained its title, table tennis won a European title, and boxing won 7 out of 8 championships after 30 years without a title. He also mentioned championships in beach volleyball and sailing. In conclusion, he attributed the change in the club's history to Kountouris and his administration, with the support of Olympiacos fans and Vangelis Marinakis. #Ολυμπιακός #Αθλητισμός #Πρωταθλητισμός (translated)
