There was nothing wrong in the old Ukrainian border.
There was nothing wrong in the Gulags.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

I had never heard of Ba Sing Se until like a week ago.

In the before times we would say “We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Yeah maybe i should use russian state-owned press as source.

Those ethnicities were counter-revolutionary so it's good to murder them actually.

(Hopefully incredibly obvious but this is sarcasm)

Looks like Davel is reading in on this and using laugh emojis like some boomer on Facebook.

I googled it and the Circasssian Genocide (which I never heard of before) took place during the 19th Century, almost 100 years before Stalin came into power.

I'd be interested to learn more if you have a source?

can just google "ussr atrocities." Like any country, you're likely to find more than you wanted

Oh yeah. Mixed it up with the Ingush and Chechen deportations.

Ah yeah, reminds me a lot of the genocidal resettlements perpetrated by the United States.

"Hey so if killing Nazis is the metric, then the US and Britain must be super good guys too. They killed a bunch of Nazis too when they were allied with the Soviets, all a big Nazi killing party."

"HOW DARE, that was different, only applies when I want it to apply"
