I’ve been arguing with some people over this whole Ukraine-Russia shit and somebody mentioned this.

What was the deal with this? Why did the USSR do this? What are the western history books not telling me here?

Also bonus question, what was the deal with the entire resettlement program? Why was it needed?

If your first response to finding out that the Soviet Union did ethnic cleansing is “wow that was dumb of them now people on the internet can use that to say STALIN BAD” you probably need to rethink some things.

Never apologize for whataboutisms - it’s lib shit. If someone calls you out, just say what about these fists? and then don’t look at the responses because nothing that follows will be in good faith.

It was always bad, circlejerking is irrelevant.

Plus all countries at that period don’t have a lot of moral ground to stand on - so it was wrong, it shouldn’t be done again seems like an easy lesson, instead of arguing that it was different somehow
