Funny enough how otherwise objective HN community tends to support bold statements like this, which usually come up in a brainwashing activities.
The only fact that gets tossed out is that Russia was never a peaceful country, and there were never times without a violent regime.
How about this: for every 1 who suffered in Soviet Union there were 10 who benefited. But how many do suffer now for every 1 oligarch to benefit?

- alexro 15y agoYou take bold statement too literary. 20 million died in the WW2, they were murdered by Germans.
- bdunbar 15y agoI excluded people killed in that war. I'm counting people killed in purges and the Ukraine famine before Josef and Adolph got feisty with each other in 1940.
- alexro 15y agoThe famine wasn't specific to Ukraine wasn't it? Southern areas of Russia suffered the same if not worse. Currently the Russian population is degrading without any purges and people die from poor conditions and criminals (including police raids) in their cities. But before there millions who really worked for the future and now there are few.
