This is a view held by actual Eastern European Jews who first survived the Holocaust, and then after the USSR's arival saw their compatriots either imprisoned locally or deported to Siberia, or living in constant fear of such for the long years until Stalin died. For just one of many, many examples of this "out of the frying pan, into the fire" feeling, I can recommend the work of Imre Kertész.
- guythedudebro 5y agoThe only reason the term "Eastern European Jews" refers to actual living people is because Nazi Germany was defeated (primarily by the USSR). It's not a defense of Soviet crimes to say that the Nazis were unequivocally worse. To place their "evilness" on the same order of magnitude means you're not considering generalplan ost's fulfilment as worse than our current timeline.
