- kmlx 7y agoyou are promoting falsehoods, and now accuse me of breaking site guidelines. i suggest you read a bit about what you’re writing about. wikipedia is a good start, but it’s just a start: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_trade_of_the_Soviet_Union https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_trade_of_the_Soviet_...
- ionised 7y agoThankfully, I don't get my information on world history from Wikipedia. I read history textbooks written by actual historians and on this particular subject, I speak with people who lived through it on a regular basis and spend time in former Soviet states; they are my extended family through my partner. You, clearly, have spent no time in any former soviet states and I'd wager you've never spoken to an Eastern European native. I have no wish to continue talking to someone who can't post anything substantial.
