True. Russia has been woefully antisemitic since forever basically. Russians in general hate Jews for no reason whatsoever (I know I am a Russian and a Jew). USSR too. Gulags were full of Jews, you can even see it in the prison slang which is full of Yiddish/Hebrew words. My grandpa had to hide the fact he was a Jew to get the party ticket which was necessary to advance in his career (he was a scientist).
As a fellow Jew, hmm. Putin and Putin's Russia is clearly rabidly antisemitic. Nonetheless, Hitler really was in a class of his own, no? We are talking in the order of 6 million Jews dead.
Not gonna argue with that. USSR was definitely more covert in its ethnic cleansings. Although the Russian polizei collaborators in Eastern Europe (Belarus to be exact) were more than eager to hand in my grandad's family to the SS. It was actually thanks to an SS officer showing some compassion that he and he his sister managed to evacuate. And some argue that up to 5 million Jews went through Soviet gulags although it's near impossible to verify. My main point being is that the nazi Germany system was destroyed and punished (and reformed by external forces), but the Soviet never was and that's why we're here with the likes of Poo-boy.
That’s horrifying. Thanks for educating me. I am glad your grandfather and his sister made it.
oh yeah, wasnt that the whole premise to Fiddler on the Roof? and the movie was based on a book written in the early 1900s
Says the leader of one of the most Nazi-infested countries on Earth.
At least you admit that Ukraine is a country
Hahahahahahaha
Literally always have.
I hope you're a troll because it's depressing if Russian propaganda has really convinced you of that.
Once all the orks are either dead or back in their shit hole country Ukraine won't have a Nazi problem anymore. Slava Ukraini

A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
