Again ignoring the fact that Russia fucking agreed with hitler to invade Poland, and the mass rapes and lilling of polish civilians as they """liberated""" them because it doesn't align with your narrative so you just fucking ignore it, then you wonder why I'm not taking you seriously?

Yes they obtained limited authority......then the soviets marched their army into Ukraine, brutally suppressed any resistance and then took away that autonomy. And you just ignore the whole invasion thing because it doesn't align with your narrative.

Yes, I could make that argument with the Belarusians too, thank you for making a great point for me. The Russians sent other people to die for them then claimed as if it was the entire soviet union that suffered these losses when the vast majority of them were non Russian eastern Europeans, and to answer your question I mentioned ukraine, 1. Because they lost 10,000,000 people. And 2. Because we were talking about Ukraine.

No I'm not siding with the nazis, but you know who did? The fucking soviets when they agreed to invade Poland together. Also look up the Russian penal battalion and order no. 227 they forced "punishees" to charge en mass against enemy positions while the red army set up blocking battalions behind then to stop them from retreating, sometimes even executing soldiers that would try to retreat. This is well documented and not something you can just randomly claim didn't happen. But I do expect you to ignore it as usual since it doesn't fit the narrative.

What part did I not acknowledge?

All of it? You've just ignored it entirely this whole time.

There was a hunger episode

Fucking lmao, thank you, this was exactly the kind of insane mental gymnastics I was expecting. Calling a man made famine a """hunger episode""" fucking hell.

What? Eastern Germany saw collasal investment after they were reintegrated? You are right about the west developing in favourable conditions though, because they weren't fucking brutally opressed by the soviets. Something that is also very very well documented but that you choose to ignore and deflect by talking about the global south as if the soviet union didn't exploit materials and cheap labour in exactly the same way. Which is again an inconvenient truth to you, so you just pretend it didn't happen.

Oh yeah the classic tankie reaction of losing an argument of "anyone that disagrees with my authoritarianism is a nazi" that's still used by modern day Russia to do things like justify it's invasion of Ukraine. And ironically enough is basically just the Nazis "cultural marxism" bullshit in reverse. But yeah keep glazing for the totalitarian undemocratic state that opressed its people performed ethnic cleansing of minorities and invaded it's neighbours while calling other people indistinguishable from Nazis without a hint of irony. This is why sensible and smart people hate you boot kicking troglodytes, because its still just authoritarianism, but wrapped in a red an yellow wrapper, and you people are so incredibly fucking stupid you actually fall for that. Honestly it's a miracle you lot don't straight up support hitler since his party had "socialist" in its name, but I guess the decades of soviet propaganda can override raw stupidity.
