  • Not denying his accomplishments, but like, the contrast is that modern Russia is not doing any of that. Living conditions are slowly getting eroded by neoliberalism and have been for years. We’re experiencing a housing crisis, wage stagnation, degradation of the social healthcare system, etc etc

    And Stalin is not being rehabilitated/“brought back” for the good parts, but rather because he tightened the screws against dissidents, foreigners (incl rootless cosmopolitans), queers, and other undesirables. As a rootless cosmopolitan myself I rather dislike those parts of his legacy and don’t want them keep happening







  • You will notice that all of these stories are after 2014 though. The fascist movements was formed quite rapidly, but it was still in response to aggression by the Russian government and military, pardon, the Donetsk “miners and tractor drivers”. These new fascists (Azov batallion a prime example ) were/are made up of Russian speakers from eastern Ukraine!! Not the stereotypical russophobes from lviv.

    Gee I wonder what actions of the Russian military or their “polite people” in eastern Ukraine might have led to this??
