Wow yeah moders Russia! So modern! Soon modern toilet, indoor!!
And being trans is considered a mental illness there, but you gotta simp for your fav dictator I guess.
The USSR was a horrible aithoritatian dictatorship murdering millions of people, every western country got a better life than that hell hole lol. They even teamed up with the Nazis and started WW2, can't make that shit up lol. So progressive.
My point is that modern and tsarist Russia are worse than the USSR; opposing the USSR is supporting the alternatives which were far worse.
Before the USSR they were peasants enduring regular famine, by the 50s they put a man in space. The 90s saw the largest drop in human life expectency outside of war or famine in modern history.
The USSR spent the lead up trying to ally with every single western country against nazi germany. Instead they all signed non-aggression pacts with nazi germany, and gave Nazi Germany and Poland Czechoslovakia. They even offered to invade Germany with 2 million men if the UK and France would join. Meanwhile the UK literally tried to send troops to invade the USSR during the winter war.
The capitalist powers intended Nazi Germany and Poland to deal with the greater threat, communism. The USSR signing their own non-aggressing pact is the only way they were able to draw the capitalists powers in against Nazi Germany.
Oh yeah, the west is worse than nazis, gotcha. Lol.
I am saying capitalists feel fascism is a solution to communism, and their countries have always been happy to work with fascists to fight communists. Hence why fascist Portugal was a founding member of NATO, none of the capitalist countries dealt with Franco's Spain, the dictatorships in South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, all of south America, etc.
Meanwhile, fascists know communists are their biggest enemy.
