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?
The western history books are hiding that there was a great civilization of Tartarians across the globe. The nazi/communist wars were further attempts by the hidden hand (capital, finance) to cover up the amazing civilization that was advanced, and ran on a different mode of production.
Tatar Legion collab’d during the occupation, the government deported a bunch of minorities from Crimea at the same time to ‘secure’ the area around Sevastopol. I guess its comparable to a southern Kaliningrad.
The resettlement program was not needed and fucked up. The idea was for internal security (why the NKVD did it) because the party got away from ingratiating itself to minorities and lifting them up over what amounted to neo-russification. A goddamn SS brigade who would’ve been torn apart by their neighbors post-war isn’t an excuse.
Brainworms mainly. Like 3 percent of population decided to collaborate, and then because they were not capable or willing give them up to friendly officers, the whole population got deported. :shrug-outta-hecks:
😬
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.
That’s kinda shit tbh, Stalin gets a :bonk: for this one. Were the new living conditions at least approximately as good as they had before?
