Ive been reading a lot of Russian history lately. The Bolsheviks basically swan dived into an opressive surveillance state right from the starting gun, loooong before any relations with america. The west didnt cause Stalin’s purges and they had nothing to do with the Holodomor. People seriously suffered under communism, its genuinely atrocious.
And it sure as hell weren’t “imperialist capitalist states” who sent tanks to Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Yet they’re surpised they’re called tankies with these stupid takes.

You can’t say there isn’t anything to it. But for sure I agree it isn’t the whole story.
America has freedom of owning the speech. They almost got it right. :p

No not a real concept, thank god. Got lucky to be born in northern Europe. Seems to be one of the best spots on the planet.
