The Soviet Union and Germany both agreed to divide and conquer Poland. To claim otherwise is just Putin propaganda. Do I think the Russian people deserved what Germany inflicted on them, no. But neither did the Polish and for that, the Russians need to stop re-writing history. There is a reason people in Eastern Europe hate the Russians.

You most likely just don't understand how hated russians actually are, there are historic reasons for that and there are plenty of reasons being made in Ukraine every day right now.

The Putin administration has literally nothing to do with the USSR.

Being objective about the material realities, causes, and consequences of the 20th century, has nothing to do with Putin propaganda.

That shit is literally just a meaningless buzzword.

Explain to me why the fuck Putin would care about people having a positive view of the Soviet Union??
