Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev accused Russia of occupying both Azerbaijan and Ukraine, citing historical grievances and criticizing Moscow for worsening relations
Of course there are, it’s just that’s much bigger in USSR’s account even if you drop the percentage by 10. The Chechens I met tell the otherwise, that they were oppressed and had to live their religion secretly (though I’m not opposed the parts like where they forbid circumcision on boys), overall USSR had no religion and wanted no religion and I suspect a lot of problems occurred because of it, either the existence or absence of it. They tried to change it at once with oppression and that’s an automatic backlash in human nature.
there was a portrait of Stalin in the lodge
That feels like Stockholm syndrome or laying low, I don’t know which is. Because I know muslims hate Stalin.
I guess there is no perfect world and nothing changed for thousands of years. No one wants to leave others to mind their own business.
It seems “The Black Book of Communism” is a bad book and I accept that it’s not fine to use it as a source. However even though that one is exaggerated, there are other sources too. By the way, I’m no expert on USSR or anything social sciences related, in fact I’m far from it. I just met a lot people who fled from USSR or who survived from persecution. None of the stories I heard even remotely praised USSR. But I don’t know the other side of the stories, and most likely I never will be able to. At least not in a way unbiased.
By the way, gonna little side-track here, what’s with the Ukrainians being Nazi I see around a lot, didn’t they crush under Germans too?
