Russia historians citing USSR internal records are all western lies?

    I would have to know what exactly you are talking about to respond effectively, but largely yes, internal USSR records support the idea that anti-communist narratives are largely distorted or fabricated. Almost everything you think you know about the purges, the Moscow trials, the famines, the gulags, Soviet “authoritarianism,” and almost everything other talking point you can bring up falls into this category. And the things that aren’t distorted or fabricated are taken so far out of context as to make them unexplainable.

    The USSR wasn’t perfect, it did some inexcusable things. But the common narrative is almost comically misrepresentative, especially considering the much much worse things that contemporary capitalist nations were doing.

    LMFAO

    Oh man, I apologize, I didn't realize your ideal world meant a surveillance state totallitarian dictatorship which abducted and killed people in the night, starved the population, and put millions to work in camps until they were near dying.

    You should have started with how you actually support those things instead of saying simply "I think everything was great" which merely implied an ignorance of the bad things.

    The ignorance is yours, my friend. And unfortunately you are proving OP was correct.
