Jul 24, 2023 at 10:49 comment added Rekesoft @Stančikas Maybe there was not much hostility against ethnic russians while the USSR existed, but requiring the local language (if not outrightly forbid russian language) was a very common first move by all the ex-soviet republics. Trying to join NATO was the second one.

"Russians are the ethnicity that suffered the most from Stalinism", used to be heard. Nobody ever called them the higher race.
Jul 22, 2023 at 9:44 comment added Uk rain troll Also when speaking about USSR and its claims, what USSR do you mean? Of 1929 or 1979? Those were two very different countries. There was no a uniform coherent USSR, it changed a lot during 70 years, though keeping some symbols
Jul 22, 2023 at 9:31 comment added Uk rain troll USSR was continuation of a Russian Empire that existed for centuries, so it inherited most real life problems and issues from there regardless what they could say in Pravda newspaper. :)
