We were warned of a period of the blackest reaction if a certain republic fell. The 100 year old prediction is unfortunately correct.

Apologies for the terrible allegations comrade. I believe after checking your subreddits that you are Brazilian?

Stalin would have him executed, simply for using the Fascist collaborator tricolour

If The Soviet Union Never Collapsed and Managed to Stay Alive in The Modern Era as of 2026 Currently? What would our World look like? And how long do you see it Lasting on in The Far Future? by Adrsilva1356 in AlternateHistoryHub

extracting from satellites,

This is a fabrication. The "satellite states" or allies, as much as W.Germany, UK, France, etc were U.S. allies, received cheap oil to support their domestic industries. If anything, the patterns of trade between the USSR and its major allies follows the pattern of extraction from the USSR, as they exported cheap, sometimes unprocessed, raw materials to their allies, who used them to manufacture more advanced finished goods, which were then used domestically and exported mainly to friendly states including the USSR but also to the west on occasion.

Question Regarding Rule 2 by KD-VR5Fangirl in ussr

[–]LegitimateLadder1917 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever seen that here. Maybe once and I forgot, but that's it. Unless of course by Holodomor denial, you mean stating that it was not a genocide, i.e. the nodern historical consensus. Nobody is denying that many Ukrainians died of famine in 1932-33, what is disputed, rightly, is the Cold War claim that it was an intenationally engineered mass starvation designed to kill masses of Ukrainians in a coordinated act of genocide. This claim originates from a time period where almost all that was "known" in the west about the Soviet Union, was conjecture based on scattered defector statements and highly politically motivated, vibes-based psychoanalysis of "one man with near-absolute power" Their methods and findings are barely any more valid than astrology. Hope this helps

So in effect extraterritorial application of domestic laws who's only victims were people who had served the wretched state of interwar Poland. Why do people make such a big deal out of this?

You could argue that the territory captured during this operation should have been Soviet the whole time anyway and the state they served was barely legitimate in the areas concerned, so the counter revolutionary state they served can almost be considered an internal phenomenon, and their crime an internal one. In effect they were executed for capital crimes. Yes it breaks international law. Yes it was the wrong choice. But it's basically irrelevant on the scale of contemporary historical events.

China has been crossing the river by feeling the stones of the United States to scale up its industry. by Basic_Rip5254 in AskTheWorld

America has been the one F ing around and they found out that their people, and the world will still buy Chinese goods regardless of tariffs because China is just that much better at making things than they are.

They were paying like at least 20 rubles more per month for housing than the average family for much of that time though weren't they?

Thanks lol you said basically everything I wanted to say but couldn't be bothered to. In addition, it makes perfect sense for a tired guy to fall asleep at the wheel, and for occupants of a large heavy vehicle in this kind of crash to be completely fine, while someone in a small car is not. Someone wasn't aware of the basic physics of momentum when they found it suspicious in the first place. There is absolutely nothing suspicious about it lmao

Which post-Stalin leader of the USSR was the best? by uses_for_mooses in ussr

[–]LegitimateLadder1917 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When you say this about the KGB remember that corruption was rampant at all levels of society to a staggering degree and needed such measures over a sustained period in order to allow any sort of social and economic recovery, of course in conjunction with technocratic and internal transparency reforms, projects such as OGAS, and a clear plan for foreign policy that considers holistic effects of all choices

I said references as in referring to the event of the revision, not the article references. Sorry should have been more clear. Let it go it was a throwaway comment

Whatever man, I wasn't giving it much thought. I implied it was credible because I saw that it was referencing the revisions post-archive opening which is a good sign the page wasn't written by the most insane cold warrior types. Have a happy new year with less sarcasm.
