wtf? the great terror? katyn anyone? nkvd? if you ever found yourself inside Lubyanka Square that means you were dead. apparently you can buy a watch with stalins face on it.

afk

People are realizing how awesome socialism really is!

stalin had nothing to do with socialism

i see no problem with stalin

joke about stalin:

all tyrants and mass murderers gathered in hell to discuss who was most successful and they were easy to spot
those who murdered most stood in bigger pool of blood
so everybody looking around to whos winning
in one corner stay napoleon with blood barely covering his shoes
in other corner lenin with blood up to his ankles
in center hitler with blood up to his neck
everybody turn and search for stalin and he stay in blood pool up to his knees
all like wtf? this can't be true, we all know you killed more than that
- oh, you misunderstood me, i stay on shoulders of lavrentij beria [chief of kgb during whole stalin time]

and i have few theories why some russians are more positive towards stalin nowadays, but my answer will be way to tl;dr

and for ppl who havn't lived in ussr it will be also og;dc

Let's hear it champ.

i did laugh at this

i actually wanna hear it
ive been reading quite a bit lately and im down for an essay

also, beria is exactly what i was getting at with the nkvd

thing i said before that stalin era have nothing to do with socialism or communism was accepted directly after stains death by soviet government
even in old soviet school books stalins era called as cult of one person
and it was so
no one was safe during that time
but one small group of privileged party members manged to stay safe during all that time
their stroies + soviet war propaganda that stalin won the war confuse some illiterate idiots today
but ppl who fought wwii or ppl who heard they stories at first hand remember that person that was praised for victory more than stalin was zhukov general commander of military forces
soviets won the war clearly because of stalins efforts, but despite of them

also todays accusations by some nationalists (polacks etc) that crimes committed by stalin are to shared by russian ppl fuel minds of those idiots

and no joe, katyn (22k killed polack officers) is nothing compared with everything else
some sources say that stalin is responsible in death of over 30 mil ppl, without counting casualties of several wars

after all, why care about 10-15% of morons? doesn't every country have about the same percentage of idiots?

i was just referencing a singular event, i didnt mean to compare it to his total kill count

if the russian government would just say sorry to the poles maybe they would let it go, im clearly sure why the reds cant just do that (clearly like weve ever said sorry though, so pot kettle etc)

i can say one thing about stalin, russian ppl suffered much more than anyone else from stalins repression and it must be really hurtful to real russian patriots to hear some morons praising name of stalin

i suspect also that most of those idiots are just trolling everyone else

agree with the troll part
and i cant imagine living through the stalin era, where all it took was a fight with a neighbor who would then report you as a spy or something, to which you would be brought down to the nkvd hq, tortured until you sign a form saying you were a spy and then shot

I had a hearty laugh too.

You're the only one here who was alive during Stalin's era.
