    then taken over by USSR during the revolution. And now Russia is trying to subjigate Ukraine again. I can only hope that this time this senseless conquest will fail.

    Wow, you’re right; you really have been lied to, especially about history.

    Also, don’t whine about the USSR. You got what you wanted; it was forcefully destroyed, and now you’re reaping the consequences.

      Leave it to the ignorant westeners to teach other people their own history. Surely you know better.

      Also, the USSR crumbled on its own. Its flawed economic system could not bear all the millitary spending. And we are all better for it. Now its remains are poisoning todays Russia, but it will crumble as well, sooner or later.

        I do know better, yes. Facts are facts.

        Also, the USSR crumbled on its own.

        Lol. Sure.

        ts flawed economic system could not bear all the millitary spending.

        Hmm, I wonder why it needed so much military spending…

        And we are all better for it.

        Then stop complaining about modern Russia; you got exactly what you wanted.

        Now its remains are poisoning todays Russia, but it will crumble as well, sooner or later.

        Like I said; learn some history.

          What needed the spending? Nothing but the delusions of Russian ruling elites. Modern Russia in not much different from the USSR, even in ideology. At least they stopped pretending to be communists.

          But I am not here to teach history to a wall. This thread is overdue for an end, just as my waking day is overdue for a good night of sleep. If you are serious about decolonisation and anti imperialism you should learn about the struggles of all the people instead of choosing which global hegemony to bend your knee to. That’s my message.

          I will not reply to further comments.

          Never stop learning.
