Not really. Under western installed Bolshevism 20 million Russian people died. Since Putin...Orthodox Christianity has made a revival. Thankfully...as the “west” has never really stayed on the righteous path...
Recheck your history. Russians accepted Bolshevism, used it, relished it, and were, in turn corrupted by it. One of the largest forces of evil the world has ever known...Russia.
These are truths that can’t be wished away by blaming the West.
“Western installed”? What, were Lenin and Stalin Scots-Irish?
Compared to Russian Communists, German Nazis were pikers. The Russians slaughtered millions of their own, in purges and in gulags and in ‘forced collectivization’.
In the 1930s, they instigated a famine in Ukraine and, before all was said and done, ten million Ukrainians died from the murderous policies of the Russians.
Russia, attempting to gain control of Spain, ordered its proxies in that country to conduct a purge. Thousands were tortured and murdered.
Russia strengthened and supported Mao, one of the greatest murderers in history.
The crimes Communist Russia committed throughout the twentieth century are unspeakable. They fostered evil throughout the world, and they poured out the blood of millions. And the willingness of westerners to defend and excuse them is shameful.
Putin is only the most recent in a line of Russian dictators to be ludicrously praised by westerners. The man invades another country, steals their land, and people applaud his thuggery and admire his strength - as if poor little Ukraine ever stood a chance. It’s appalling.
