do you think thatRussians were commies then.
Are you alright, or did you just wake up and start bleeving it is 1950?
yes, even stalin, khrushchev and zhukov (nicknames grishka catafalque, the butcher) said it officially. but don´t tell it to our

Do you think, that the Russians were "commies" back in 1812, 1614 or even 1242?Because they were “сommies,” they defeated the nazis. No one else was capable of doing that. Deal with it.
$11 bln in 1945 is more or less equal to $200 bln now. And Biden alone gave Ukraine $300 bln (say nothing Europe and other guys). Did Ukraine win? No. Is it somehow close to defeating Russia? No.
In 1917, the number of deserters from the Russian army fighting the germans exceeded 1 million. The rest were not exactly eager to give their lives for the “Dardanelles” either.What was more important for the Soviet ideology - some European ideas or the bulk of moral and intellectual conceptions which makes Russian people (of any origins) Russian?
More than half of Russian oligarchs, back in 1914-1917 understood, that "allies" of Russia - England and France, won't give then the Straits, and, say more, if the war continues the way it was going, Russia would become their half-colony. Say, Savva Morozov sponsored the Revolution pretty well.In 1917, the number of deserters from the Russian army fighting the germans exceeded 1 million. The rest were not exactly eager to give their lives for the “Dardanelles” either.
Yep. After the short period of War Communism, when Revolutionary power tryed to play by Marx and Engels books, new Soviet government studied how to rule the economy - New Economic Policy (in fact, restoration of Capitalism), then first five year plans and forced industrialisation, they have found more or less working balance between government control and private initiative.The Soviet regime gave people a reason for which they were prepared to engage in mass heroism in the new war against the germans. In 1941, the masses still remembered life under the tsar and knew full well, why they were ready to fight to the end.
