  • Rolling averages are used to smooth-out graphs with high-frequency noise. Since measuring the stabbings per month only gives you some 50 stabbings on average, maybe one month you’d get 30 and the next month 70 due to stochastic reasons, and so to make the graph smoother and more readable and long-term trends more visible, you can do a rolling average.

    As for the “starting in 600”, that’s common practice and it’s good as long as the axes are properly labelled, which they are.

    As for conciseness, I don’t believe I’ve taken too long to explain my point of view, it’s just that the geopolitics of the era are complicated, and they require lengthy explanation by themselves. I haven’t overcomplicated anything, and it’s your choice whether to read it or not, but it’s a collection of several extremely important points IMO that define the Soviet policy in the prelude of the Great Patriotic War.

    As for Poland, can you pinpoint me to what exactly of my analysis you disagree with? I’d like to learn more if you have any valuable input
