They’re so close to getting it
Are there statistics on what percentage of Nazi Germany’s propagandists were eventually hanged?
That’s the difference between the West and Russia.
We actually teach ourselves about our colonial past. We don’t try to 1984 it all away and act like we were always peaceful angels.
Whats wrong in it?
Russia is telling the truth.
I am Polish and yes, it’s true, Russia treated us as colony, mined uranium in our mountains and was doing executions on our people, was imprisoning them and sending them to Siberia, also there is massacre of our officers in Katyń (they blamed Germans for this).
Wow, finally Russia is telling the truth
I despise Russia.
Is Steve Rosenberg still in Russia? I hate to think that if Russia needs to return some hitman home, he could be one of the guys they exchange for that hitman.
It seems there is a common misconception regarding colonialism among Russians. Basically it goes down to “we have built infrastructure and factories in these countries – and so it was not a colonialism”. Yet the same applies to British colonization of India – and it was still undoubtedly a colonization. The colonization isn’t always simply robbing the colonized nation poor and keeping them in slavery. It is implementing the policies to support and benefit the colonizer first and furthermost, yes some of these examples were more cruel (as in example of the Belgian Congo) and some are less but that core principle was always the same.
