I’ve been paying lots of attention. I don’t need a westerner to tell me what to think about the place where I’m from. Based on your post history you’re Finnish. I don’t need your sense of superiority here. I know very well what I’m talking about, and you are entitled to disagree with that, but do not go on ad hominem attacks. If your points are so easy to understand and bring across, then do suit yourself and start going into the details already. Starting from my original point of criticism, do tell me how far-right religious lunatics would’ve fit into the USSR political class.
So jailing and murdering political dissidents, agressive imperialism, extensive propaganda that paints a completely distorted view of what the state is doing, having a small and rich ruling class, russification of minorities etc. are completely different from what was going on during the USSR? Religion is the only new part here, and even that is surface-level only as it always is.
