#just just so heartlessly do not consider that not everyone in ussr was russian.

[sidabro]

not even the most ussr-phile people on here will call something soviet instead of russian. "the russians sent man to space", no, on the teams were also georgians and latvians and all else, "the russians made amazing animations and cinema" no, ukrainians and mongolians propelled the most beahtiful of "the russians in the 70s did this and that" oh shut up and kill yourself. Even in russification and public opression people who were proud of their own ethnicities, only publically second to being "soviet" still made beautiful art, had technological and scientific achievements, participated in society. The history of the nations who spent so many decades under russian imperialism also had their 40ies 60ies and 80ies, and to give all of that to specifically russians is so insidious, it tells anyone Everything that must be known about the persona and their politics..
