In which former Soviet country were the rulers which were responsible for atrocities between ‘45-‘89 held responsible? Even the Nazis in Germany weren’t systematically purged - some had valuable information/skills and were given amnesty by the allies, others got even political functions in West Germany.
Soviet brutality is a fact, but suddenly bringing this up in 2022 when everybody’s obviously not bothered by it that much any more and drawing a parallel with Nazi Germany is bizarre to say the least. I think you must have realized yourself that the comparison was far fetched and you’re fishing for anything which would make it seem at least halfway logical.
- ajuc 5y ago> drawing a parallel with Nazi Germany is bizarre to say the least Russia literally invaded Ukraine and mass murdered civilians in occupied cities. Putin made a speech in which he said Ukraine is a "fake nation" and that "Ukrainian question must be solved". There were lists of people to be eliminated prepared before the invasion. Thousands of Ukrainians from occupied cities were moved to Russia against their will. It's not clear what happened to them. Russians have pseudomilitary training for kids and population is wearing stylized Z symbols to show their support for the "operation". Calling the "operation" a war is an offence for which people go to jail. So is criticizing the Russian army. And you're saying it's "bizzare" to compare this to nazi Germany? What do you want - a signed letter from Putin admitting it? If Russia wasn't behaving like USSR in its totalitarian period I wouldn't be reminding people of these examples. But it is.
