Mald more, right wing nationalists

If you ever visit Poland, ping me, me and my boys are gonna fuck you up

Hope you get banned for that, but I’m glad you resort to violence when confronted with evidence, classic right wing nationalist

If 10% the standards applied to western communist parties had been applied to the rest of parties, communists would have ruled Europe. My point is it’s mainly gladio + propaganda that did this

Not just massacring, also because the massive relocations during invasion, the immense focus in industry, huge recruitment of working force, and loss of agricultural land in the south, there were big famines in WW2 USSR. It’s the main reason behind the million deaths in prisons during WW2 USSR.

Notice my comment specifically mentioning post-1955. Poland was made to pay reparations to the USSR because of the lives lost saving Poland, which is debatable, this was stopped after the mid 50s

Yes, because of Yank propaganda. I don’t see how they’re anything remotely as bad as Vietnam or Korea, look at the figures of deaths. It’s just that Europeans are racist as fuck and don’t care about deaths of Asians, and American propaganda was much more pervasive.

Gracias, compa <3

So russia invades poland to “protect” them from the nazi

No. As made explicit on my previous comment, the Soviets invade Poland to put extra distance between themselves and the Nazis, since there are essentially no natural defensive positions in the Great European Plain. You can read the arguments of Chamberlain and Churchill that I included in my comment.

I don’t see why you bring up the modern Russian Federation, though, what kind of link are you trying to make?

25 million Soviets died during the war. Is the 8.7 just soldiers?

I already provided an extensive comment regarding the widely misconstrued Molotov-Ribbentrop in this comment section, you should check it out.

Thanks for agreeing with my point: yes, it was the Soviets that took the brunt of the war and did the most to destroy Nazism. Lend lease helped, but the main factor in the destruction of Nazism was the Soviet interwar industrialization push since 1929’s first 5-year plan.

it suffered from its close association to the many failures of the Soviet Union (such as its foreign policy flip-flops and numerous human right violations)

By that logic, all modern pro-NATO parties in the EU should have disappeared in the 1950s. You say the USSR has policy flip flops, but have you looked at the USA’s foreign policy? As for human rights violations, I don’t really know what you’re talking about regarding the French Communist Party “natural political decline”. Since Stalin’s death in the 1950s the gulags were closed, famines had disappeared, and the USSR was an overwhelmingly peaceful nation that internationally provided help to emancipatory anti-colonial projects such as those of Cuba or Vietnam, while the US bombed the fuck out of them. Also, did you just say “nah” to the source I brought and simply disregarded it?

And what should the alternative be? Because the other only possible alternative was allowing the Nazis full control of those lands. For comparison, the Katyn massacre in Poland likely carried out by the Soviets during occupation consists of figures numbered in the tens of thousands, and Nazi extermination in Poland killed several millions. What’s the desired occupation?

while raping the inhabitants

And that’s where we stop arguing. There is no evidence of higher rates of sexual assault by Soviet troops than by any other, and the whole “rapist hordes” stems from Nazi wartime propaganda and has been picked up by racists like you. You stop being able to defend “polish ownership” over majority Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian territories by ethnicity when confronted with evidence, and resort to racist Nazi propaganda of “rapist hordes”.

You’re not answering my question:

Britain got 3 times as much aid from Lend-Lease than the USSR. If Lend-Lease is the main factor behind the Soviets defeating the Nazis (as proven by Nazis suffering 80% of their dead soldiers in the Eastern Front), why didn’t Britain kill many more Nazis?

Reports of ICE training with Zionist entity repression forces.

Lend-lease, it’s USA policy.

Answer my question: if lend-lease won the war, if Britain received $30bn and the USSR received $11bn, why didn’t Britain win the war?

I provided you sources with NUMERICAL DATA contradicting your statements directly. Until you prove otherwise with evidence, don’t continue this conversation. This is a community about history, not vibes-based analysis.

I did recognize that lend-lease was very significant. However, Britain got 3 times as much aid from Lend-Lease and they weren’t the ones who won the war.

every factory that could be disassembled was systematically sent to Russia

Then why was GDP per capita higher in Estonia and Czechoslovakia higher than in the USSR? Why did Romania go from having 40% of industrial workers to 20% after the 1990s? What’s your source for this?

ressources were systematically sent to Russia

I already proved, with sources, that it was backwards. The net material balances were extractive from the USSR which gave resources like metals, gas and oil at subsidized prices to the COMECON countries. Think about it for just one second: the USSR does not need resources, it’s the largest country in the world, a fossil fuel exporter, and has immense material wealth from the extensive mining complexes in the Urals. Why would the USSR need raw materials from tiny countries in its orbit? But again, if you don’t believe me, you’re free to read about it. This is a history community, not a “let’s make up reality without sources” community. I provided you sources.

For its many mistakes, the USSR didn’t pillage the resources of any country, the only argument you could make in this direction are postwar reparations against Nazi countries such as Hungary. After 1955 especially, the trade policy inside the COMECON was one of the USSR supplying raw goods at subsidized prices in exchange for industrially manufactured goods. This policy is detailed with numbers in Robert C. Allen’s “Farm to Factory” and Albert Szymanski’s “Human Rights in the Soviet Union”. What’s your data source for claiming the Soviet Union pillaged any country?
