The Soviets bravely fought against the Nazis and put a stop to the Holocaust. For that alone, they should have all of our respect.
Oh so if you fight someone doing a genocide you get to commit some of your own for free? Wasn't aware that special was still going. Also again ignoring the Soviets were happy to help nazi germany when it was convenient for them.
No of course not. While it is commendable that the Americans fought on the side of justice in WW2, it does not make up for their genocides. The Soviets however did not commit any genocide.

Turns out you can say anyone didn't commit genocide if you just ignore history.
Now even the Great Purge is being called a genocide. 💀
Tankies on their way to explain how the mass murder of political dissidents isn't technically genocide. Very smart, you definitely don't sound at all like a fucking psychopath.
I'm not a tankie don't worry.
Then why are you defending totalitarian regimes?
I'm not. I am vehemently anti-fascist.
If you support the Soviet Union you're a really shit anti-fascist.
The Soviets were the greatest anti-fascist forces in history. They dismantled the Nazi empire and routed fascism from Europe with the help of the allies.
The Soviets were nothing but fascists with a thin coating of leftist aesthetic, just like you.
Why are you so anti-Soviet? Are you perhaps a National Socialist? :)
I don't like repressive authoritarian governments or their defenders. Go fuck yourself.
You should really be more civil...
Eat shit.
Whoa! That's not very nice, comrade!
