Thankfully, 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.
