"Captured by a foreign power" would then also include Sweden as it was taken back by Jacon De la Gardie in an alliance with the Russians. Round about half of the troops (5000) were Finns in that campaign.

Clever misdirect on Novosibirsk for those of us who didn't know the answer, but assumed that something so specific is likely true or it wouldn't be a question.

I think many of the people who get the last question wrong probably just really really want it to be true. That's certainly what happened to me!

The huskies tripped me up too. On one hand it sounded like the sort of stereotypical nonsense you hear about Australia (kids ride kangaroos to school or something like that), but on the other it seemed whacky and specific enough that in one specific city, someone might have decided to do it.

I am Russian and I died laughing at the last question. Whoever did this quiz - well done. Even I started doubting my answer at first because it was worded so specifically

Novosibirsk is a boring grey city, with very little interesting to see. There are some much nicer places in Siberia, like Tomsk, Kemerovo, Barnaul, Irkutsk…

Really surprised that the man most responsible for ending WW2 was never awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. It's a shame really. Shows how bogus this prize is
