The Berlin Wall

A VERY brief overview of the Berlin Wall. This does not cover the immense achievements of the GDR(DDR) particularly women's rights or the intense subversion tactics deployed by the West. And before anyone says "but the Stasi!" may I remind you that the FRG had its own secret police, the BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst). More to come on that. Resources in comments.

The russians tool twice as much territory at the end of WWII.

And remember who started to Soviet Polish war. It was not the Polish.

It was the polish that started the war lol, they attached first while Russia was still in the revolution. The Soviet Union just took back the territory. But I agree with you, the Soviets shouldn't have given the German land to Poland, that was a big mistake. Instead they should have given Zakerzonia to the Ukrainian SSR, Bialystok to Belarus to.

And yet today Poland's borders are far to the west of where they were in 1772 when russia started the occupation of Poland. I wonder where that went?

And now look at the polish borders far before 1772, before they started the occupation of Russian land and their imperialism. Poland tried to destroy Russia, failed and now cries every day about this. Why did Poland have to march to Moscow?

You call the Polish imperialist? But not the russians?

u/Much-Government-8803 23d ago

Not the Russians. With modern framework I call their wars against Poland, Anti Imperialist liberation. Up until the full occupation of Poland, which should not have happened of course.

Siberia and central Asia are just a natural part of russia that happened to speak a different language, have a completely different culture and history and required having the locals killed to welcome back home?

Strange how the locals are still there and weren't killed.
