If you find yourself going “Hey actually the figurehead of an organization that was more interested in doing crimes against humanity against ethnic minorities to fight the fucking nazis gets a bad rap” maybe it’s time to reevaluate your takes.
Russian cultural chauvinism was a problem for the USSR and has only gotten worse, but if find yourself defending a fascist, you’re either a nazi or have been duped by nazis.
you also forgot polish chauvinism and whole lotta causality out of there and a shitton of historical context all around - which means you’re oversimplifying which is not a good way to talk history. that’s why i say that this is not a place to discuss it. if you want to discuss these matters in detail - private messages are right there, you’re welcome.
