From the posters stream. Is the poster ironic? "#OTD in 1922, The Soviet Union was Created! It remains one of mankind's greatest achievements."

- justinclift 3y ago> one of mankind's greatest achievements. Well, for a few decades there it probably was a great achievement for a few people at the very top. ;) For the rank and file though... not so much. :(

- lupire 3y agoOne can argue that Soviet Union was a great achievement in 1922, but Stalin hijacked it. 1922: ·Official founding of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics April 1922: ·Stalin elected General Secretary of the Communist Party January 4, 1923: ·Lenin warns the Party to remove Stalin from his position of power. January 21, 1924: ·Death of Lenin. Stalin survives the reading of the Testament by the Central Committee in May. Or read Animal Farm. The USA was a great achievement, but has been hijacked too, after a while.
