TZer0 I think you're being kind of harsh on ksay. You're putting words into his mouth - he never said the USSR was a nice place to live or that it's okay for one oppressor to do anything as long as they kicked out a worse oppressor. He mentions the Holodomor, which is basically the genocide the USSR committed against the Ukrainian people, and he also mentions all the people who were killed when Ukraine was invaded. So of course he doesn't think the USSR was a nice place to live or that what they did was okay.
Fair enough, I'll lay off.
The reason I reacted (admittedly: quite dramatically) was the apparent acceptance of what the USSR did. I think this is all caused by forums not being the optimal way of conveying a message and probably not the place to discuss these kind of issues (and a little bit because I might have overreacted). I think this bit "But who knows what would have happened if Germany had won in war with USSR." made me kind of lose it, but I guess it is what I mentioned: forums not being the place.
ksay, I apologize if I came across as rude or offensive, but the topic in question is still the big skeleton elephant in the room (which was recently pulled out of the closet) which Russia refuses to talk about.
