Key Facts not mentioned by this article
Stalin was not Russian.
The Russian people had no say whatsoever in Stalin’s rise to power. What vote?
What happened to Russians who openly disagreed with or worked against Stalin? Dead, disappeared, entire family gone as well.
These omissions of fact are really not funny when they’re holding up this history as an attempt to smear all Russians forever.
The number one victim of the international communists was the Russian people. Many risked their lives to stop them in a civil war.
The reds had a lot of international proxy support in their rise. Did you know that Lenin was sent to Russia with a train car full of foreign money?
Should England face eternal shame for what Chamberlain did to appease Hitler early in the war?
Don’t ask the Moscow Times to explain this double standard, they can’t.
It was the Germans who sent Lenin to Russia, because he told them he would end the war if he gained power.
I will expand more on this later but no. Actually: England has the exact opposite problem of Russia. Instead of whitewashing their past to legitimate a terror-based, militaristic, invasive, mafia regime as today’s Kremlin, the Brits OVER-apologize for their ‘imperial past’ to the point of self-deprecation and surrender.
The British Empire, in spite of all its sins, has far more positives to tout than the Soviet one. And it definitely had the moral high ground in WWII and the 20th Century at large. And the endurance of its monarchy and Commonwealth remains as testament to that.
