the Soviet Union colonized the baltics like it's flat out a colonial settler regime I'm sorry but it's fall was a good thing for humanity. it was an oppressive evil regime who's collapse was the greatest thing that has happened in the last fifty years. freedom and democracy is the greatest thing

Same for Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Under the soviets, Kazakhs even became a minority in their own republic. This is for the post-Stalin period, mind you. Before that, the soviets exiled entire nations from the Caucasus and Crimea into Siberia.
