In Eastern Europe, the USSR acted like the British in India, and Russia continues that tradition.
- SanjayMehta 10mo agoEastern Europe collaborated with the Nazis to attack the USSR. You may not know your own history but I do. Case in point: The Ukraine (Stepan Bandera) and Poland. Look it up.
- cosmicgadget 10mo agoDon't the Soviets get the mark of death for collaborating with the Nazis to divide Poland? Did any part of India do anything objectionable pre-occupation such that you could apply the same "they had it coming" argument?
- mopsi 10mo agoThe USSR had starved millions of Ukrainians to death before the Nazis even rose to power. Mirrors the British hunger games in India. If you want to excuse and trivialize the suffering caused by Russians in Eastern Europe, then by the same token you trivialize the suffering of Indians under British rule. All the same excuses apply: some Bandera-Ramachandran surely conspired against the British and therefore the Bengal famine is your own fault.
- SanjayMehta 10mo agoI've read both version of the Holodomor or whatever it's called. I put it down to communist incompetence, Mao was no different than Stalin in this regard. As for the famines in India, the war criminal Churchill deliberately routed grains to feed his armies during world war 2. Prior to that, it was British policy to trigger famines, not incompetence. During the Irish famine, again under British rule, the latter were exporting grains and other produce to England. It was not incompetence but malice. Who is Ramachandran?
- mopsi 10mo agoThe USSR was also exporting grains as their own people were starving. Churchill said that the Indian famines were the fault of Indians for "breeding like rabbits" and Stalin said that the Holodomor was the fault of Ukrainians for being "kulak saboteurs". The same dismissive and inhumane attitude shines through. They knew what was happening, they knew that they had the means to stop it, and they chose not to use them.
- SanjayMehta 10mo agoChurchill was a shameless genocidal racist. While he was saying that, he was exporting grain to feed his armies. I'm glad to see that you view the two - Churchill and Stalin - as equally evil.
- dracula_x 10mo ago> Churchill was a shameless genocidal racist. Same as Modi.
- SanjayMehta 10mo agoProve it.

- SanjayMehta 10mo agoThe British were using famine long before the genocidal Churchill showed up. https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/worse-than-asuras-how-the-british-inflicted-hunger-on-indians-by-killing-dharma-chhatrams https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/worse-than-asuras-how-...
- dracula_x 10mo agoRussians were the biggest Nazi collaborators in Europe during WWII. Check Andrey Vlasov and "Russian Liberation Army", so called "РОА".
