Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)

Mihalis Stefanou posted an update attributed to the basketball club Olympiakos regarding the surgery Matthias Lessor underwent last November by orthopedic Niek van Dijk. According to the post, the basketball club Panathinaikos and the French center, along with his representative, had approached the Dutch professor for treating the player's health issue. Van Dijk, as mentioned, had informed them that he was exclusively collaborating with Olympiakos in Greece and could only take on Lessor with special permission. Stefanou wrote that the president of Panathinaikos basketball club requested permission from the vice president of Olympiakos basketball club, while the player's representative did the same. During the post, Georgios Angelopoulos immediately gave his approval and personally contacted van Dijk. In the end, Stefanou used an offensive term for those who referred to the update. #Ολυμπιακός #Καλαθοσφαίριση #Υγεία (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis mentioned that he traveled to Karpathos for the inauguration of a new CT scanner at the island's hospital, which he installed along with Giorgos Hatzimarkos. He added that the establishment of an artificial kidney unit was also progressing. Subsequently, according to his post, he welcomed the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas and participated in the events commemorating the anniversary of the Karpathos Revolution on October 5, 1944, which, he noted, led to the liberation of the island. Georgiadis said that he returned to Athens for the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of New Democracy, although he had other ministerial obligations. He criticized colleagues who, as he wrote, chose to be absent from the event due to other commitments. He also mentioned that he would travel from Rhodes to Kalymnos, where the surgical team of Mr. Sokorelos's Orthopedic Clinic would be transferred, so that patients who needed orthopedic surgeries could be operated on the island instead of being transported to Rhodes. He presented the initiative as part of a new philosophy of the National Health System, which would provide services to patients wherever they were. #Καραπάθος #Υγεία #ΕΣΥ (translated)
