Surely anyone who dares criticize the great Soviets is a straight up Nazi! There can be no other explanation!

My degree is in the downfall if the USSR. I have spent a lot of time reading accounts of prisoners. Many never knew because they were not present at their trial.

He has the numbers tattooed on his arm. I know people who knew him in Belarus that I knew separate of him who talked about it.

There were prominent Jews in the politburo. There was also a fuckload of antisemitism as anyone who lived in the USSR could tell you. The USSR was just as racist as every other European nation.

Surely people going to jail for the wrong reason is something exclusive to the Soviet Union and not to all countries with a legal system?

It isn't common for people to be sent to slave camps as a punishment for years without knowing why they were charged. That’sthe kind of evil unique to totalitarian shitholes like the USSR.

Your boss may have spent his teens in a gulag, but the fact that he lived to tell you that is because the Soviets managed to miraculously defeat the Nazis and prevent them from genociding the Slavic peoples they categorised as “Untermenschen” according to the infamous “Generalplan Ost”, which implied genocide of almost all people between Germany and the Urals. If it wasn’t for the Soviets, your former boss would have been murdered in a concentration camp by the nazis.

The same nation you are praising put him IN a concentration camp for no fucking reason other than potentially because of his race.

Like, damn, I feel sorry for your boss, but in dire circumstances such as those of the late 30s / early 40s in the USSR, excesses and abuses were sadly made because of the overwhelming conditions.

No, you don’t. You wouldn’t be supporting their evil actions in this case if you had any empathy.

You are making a lot of apologies for overt racism, why are you doing this and why do you think the USSR’s racism should be praised?

Another fascist

Only for a brain dead tankie someone criticising Stalin and gulags is always a "fascist" 🤡

You could literally open up a book someday

That's what you should start with.

check your info, gulag inmates were paid.

Check, you i.. Tankie. Or just check another response to your moronic post.

cliche of "forced labor to the cold Siberia

Listen, you moron: millions of people died in Siberia, murdered by your beloved Stalin. Denying this is like denying holocaust. Go and fuck yourself you genocide denier.
