My biggest fear when USSR collapsed was highlighted in these threads. People are either ignorant of what WAS USSR and eventually start reminiscing about the great childhoods they had.
I’m older, born and raised in Soviet Ukraine. God help you all with your naïveté.
- d0mine 5y agoThe fall of USSR is a destruction of the civilization in a sense (the lasting victory of "the dog eats dog" world over "all people are brothers"). Do you sincerely think that there is not enough dirt voiced against USSR--it is laughable: the propaganda made USSR to be equivalent to the fascist Germany (the irony)--no help is required.
- elzbardico 5y agoThe USSR was in terms of violence and human rights violation at least equivalent to nazist germany, and in practical terms worse, as the Soviet State was far more long-lived than the Nazist State.
- d0mine 5y agoYou are just confirming my point.
- ethics13 5y agoThere's not ENOUGH dirt in the world to lay at the foot of that regime.
- int_19h 5y agoOne can have no regrets over USSR as such, but still be unhappy about how it fell apart. Did we really have to go through the whole bloody mess of late 80s to early 90s? Armenia vs Azerbaijan in Karabakh and elsewhere, Georgia vs Abkhazia/Adjaria/Ossetia, the bloody civil war in Tajikistan, numerous ethnic massacres all across Central Asia (e.g. the Osh riots), and so on.
