Before typing this shit - be kind to find some facts about these countries industrialization level, health care, education. infantile mortality before and after Stalin. You are really posting SHIT.
Are you retarded ? Are you really going to defend Stalin ? He destroyed Russia as much as other countries. How can you defend him ?
What facts do you want ? How is this relevant ? Latvia was first invaded and colonized by Russia then USSR for over 70 years during the last two centuries. The last colonization lasted 50 years. IN France, in those last 50 years, we evolved, developped health care, education etc. So OF COURSE all those were better after Stalin left than before he arrived. It was a period of 50 years... people evolve.
What you say is completely stupid. With or without Stalin, things would have evolved anyway.
But I've been to lots of ex USSR countries. Take Azerbaijan. They had one of the best wine production in Central Asia before Russian arrived, even under Turkish and Ottoman domination. It continued during USSR, produced some of the best wine ever made in the region. So all this is very good. What happened at the fall of USSR ? Gorbatchev ordered ALL the wine fields to be destroyed, ALL the cemical plants to be shut down, ALL the oil and gas exploitation to be taken down.
It took Azerbaijan 10 years to recover from this. And it's still today very poor.
You just don't want to look at the facts.
And most of all : Does ANYONE here understand that I am NOT accusing anyone here, and NOT criticizing Russia for f**k sake... I am criticizing the fact that the Russian government will not apologize for what has happened, just like Germany did, just like France did, the Vatican, etc.
It's not anymore complicated than that. How hard is that to understand ? You guys have taken this way too far. I accused the USSR for doing bad things, and ONLY said government should apologize to everyone for this. You tell me I'm anti Russian, that I have read bad propaganda, that I don't know anything and don't understand anything.
Do you realize how freaking stubborn you are ?
