Yeah, the "secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe" are a tiny, tiny detail. The UK and France decided to declare war on Germany because it was attacking independent countries. The USSR decided to join Germany in the war efforts, as long as they could. They also made programs of ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration and mass murder parallel to the Nazi ones. (They themselves admitted they were basically the same thing, claiming for years that the Katyn massacre was done by the Germans and not the Soviets). The power in the Soviet Union was concentrated in the hands of a very few people at the highest ranks of the Communist Party. Any independent self-organization, including independent workers' unions, was forbidden. Explain to me: What was so wonderful in all of that?
🤣🤣🤣

Can't wait for the next banger.
Having actually grown up in USSR, this is hands down the dumbest shit I've read on this site today.
Well, I've also grown up in the former Eastern Bloc. So 1:1. Maybe you were part of the privileged group profiting from the Soviet imperialism? ;)
Also: Do you deny the Gulag, the oppression of all opposition, including any forms of self-organization, the Holodomor genocide, and the ethnic cleansing, e.g., of the Crimean Tatars?
ah yes the PriVileGed GrOup ProFiTing FroM the SovIeT ImepriaLism seems to have been majority of the population in USSR 🤡
Of course I deny your fascist propaganda. Holodomor genocide narrative was literally created by fascist and you've just exposed yourself by regurgitating it.
Yes, the majority of the population. Everybody wanted to go to the USSR and the Eastern Bloc in general. That is why they built the Berlin Wall and heavily guarded all the borders with Western Europe. To stop all the migrants ;) (I prefer to trust people living at that time than the nostalgia.)
I agree that it is worse in Russia now than it was in the post-Stalin Soviet era, though.
Oh look more drivel. The reason the immigration was strict wasn't because everyone wanted to flee from USSR as you fascists claim. It was because people who got their free education in USSR could leverage it go and make way more money in the west and live of the capitalist exploitation. The fact that the majority of the population of USSR voted against the dissolution in the referendum clearly shows that you're full of shit.
Meanwhile, where it's actually worse now than during USSR times is in the Baltics where the industry is gone, and everyone who has the means to do so left.
Meanwhile, Russian economy is booming, and the World Bank just reclassified Russia as a high income country https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025
The IMF forecasts that Russian economy is set to grow faster than all the western economies https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/17/russia-forecast-to-grow-faster-than-advanced-economies-in-2024-imf.html
Literally every single thing you stated in this thread is demonstrably wrong. Gotta work on your trolling skills not to make it so obvious.
