Do you disagree with anything I've said? Do you deny that USSR slaughtered more of it's own people than Germany slaughtered Jews? Do you remember that President-for-life Putin was KGB? That stuff is at least as significant as slaughter of Native Americans and Armenians... wouldn't you agree? LOL
Yes I agree. And I know that a lot of people was killed. But do you know many countries what was built without killing of their people? And do you hate these countries and their people same as the Soviet? Do you hate France and French as a nation for people they killed during the French revolutions? Do you know any country what blaming USA for killing Native Americans same often as Russia blamed for the past? Do you know any African county what blame today USA for all their people taken in slavery? And Mao killed a lot of people and the Communist party as previously ruling in China, do you blame them same often as Stalin and Soviet Union?
Yes I know a lot of people was killed and a lot of people was jailed. But the strange thing that most (not all of course) of them if they survived and get back from the jail didn’t keep that anger on the country and people and government. A lot of them was strictly believed that country was in trouble and a lot of mistakes was made but it is the past and things improving and we moving in the right direction. Unfortunately the problem of that country was in the corruption of the government. But the corruption was so hidden that not many can see and understand.
Yes I know that Putin from KGB. But the KGB you referencing in you posts is the KGB of 1920-1950. And Putin during that time didn’t exist or maybe was a little child. The KGB of 50es not the KGB of 70es or 80es. I even used to know somebody who work there. He was a nice friendly person, he would never do any troubles to nobody and never can kill somebody.
After 45 years of living in the Soviet Union and after that in USA I can compere both countries, and I see many things that was there I would appreciate in here too. Say free education in any schools, universities or after universities. Even more in Soviet Union students was paid a little by the government if they study hard and have a good grades, and education was not formal, but very, very good. Sport clubs and any clubs with different interests including photography or say model building or any other interests was free too. If you had financial problems to study full time, you can work during the day and study after work and you will get the same education and the same diploma, and again for free, and this is what I actually did during the collage years. I got my PHD without paying a penny for education, and I was paid by government during my study time. If you graduate from college in Soviet Union and get a diploma, you can go and work right away as an engineer or a doctor or an architect and you don’t need any licenses and tests. We used to have 1 full month paid vacation right from the first year of work. We used to have free medical service and hospitals and any operations was free. We used to have as many paid seek days in the year as needed to get better, just bring a document from the doctor to you work. The paid maternity leave vacation for the woman was 1 year after the birth of the child and 3 months before. The retirement age for the woman was 55 and for man 60. We never worry about losing the job. If you doing you work you never will be fired and slow you can grow up to some managing position. Or if you don’t like the company where you working you can look for another place and leave. We was mostly happy with life.
We was happy because we lived in the country where in every families and every houses you can see on the wall a portrait of the relative who was killed during the war (do you know another country like this). And the war was over and we won and we rebuild the country, and finally we can live and work and build the families and grow kids and educate them. Of course it was a bad sides in life too, but do you know the place where all things good from any sides? I don’t.
And last thing. Do you really believe that the KGB officers used to invite a photographers to document how they kill the people?
