That was awfully fast reading for something I just posted a few minutes ago. Pretty sure you only skimmed over it instead of actually reading it. Otherwise you’d actually talk about the stuff written in it.

No it wasn’t, otherwise Tajiks wouldn’t still have -ov and -ova at the end of their surnames. Also see link to article written in the late 70s by an actual anti-imperialist socialist, explaining why the Soviet Union totally was imperialist. https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-3/iwk-ussr.htm

Yeah, right. https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-3/iwk-ussr.htm

Why werent surnames in Soviet states derussified then?

Nice strawman.

Do you think imperialism in Russia stopped with the fall of the Tsar? If the Soviet Union was so anti-imperialist, why weren’t surnames in member states derussified? Why weren’t placenames derussified? Why didn’t Russian settlers move back to the Russian homeland?

Same goes for the US and so on. At least reparations/compensation and derussification/deanglicization are necessary.

Why is attacking the outer reaches of Ukraine then, when NATO and US imperialism are the problem? Also how is the government nazi with two Jews in it’s cabinet of ministers? You know, the central part of Nazism is the antisemitism. Pretty weak excuses for an invasion.

Russia has been doing imperialism and colonialism since forever. Otherwise there wouldn’t be such significant Russian populations that are still monolingually Russian in former Soviet states.

finishes joint “If you wrote this on my instance, I would have banned you.”

And there was another wave in 1946. Also it was a deportation. Deportation doesn’t mean you get removed from your nation. It means you get removed from your homeland which could be a region, a state or a nation. Also they werent given a choice. And 1/3 of Ingush dying as a result of deportation still counts as genocide.

It’s more reliable than the crap sources you tend to link to.

Sure, Solzhenitsyn was a fascist sympathizer in his later years. So as an alternative, I offer Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov whose only sus thing was to say that the German army was effective for which he got ten years in a gulag which I think is pretty harsh for a statement like that. https://ia600707.us.archive.org/3/items/kolymatales/Kolyma Tales by Varlan Shalanov.pdf

You are seriously linking to a propaganda site run by a suspected PatSoc? Also TheGrayzone is not very credible. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-grayzone/

The Chechen and Ingush deportations occured in 1946, year after WW2 ended. Holy shit. You relativizing a deportation into a cold region with a lack of resources for survival that killed 1/4 and 1/3 of the Chechen and Ingush populations is bordering on the relativization I usually get from neonazis about the Holocaust.

Also some of the people in the link you posted answer your question.

Chechen and Ingush deportations. Volga German deportations. Deportations of Koreans within the Soviet Union. The anti-cosmopolitan campagne. Various crimes against humanity during the great purge. That is only part of the list.

Are you for real?

Alright, if the admins and mods are gonna put up and defend your antics here, that’s up to them. But if I find such answers that can be read as defenses of Stalin’s crimes against humanity on feddit, you, well anyone who does it will get a ban. Not gonna put up with this any longer.

I didn’t say no nazis were killed. However given the context of the thread, it was implied by multiple people that the victims of Stalin’s repression deserved it. And when I say repression, I am not talking about WWII but the collective deportations of ethnic minorities and the like.
