1.Twitter is a poor medium, so I’ll summarize some random points on USSR, WWII, and Victory Day. @apurposefulwife

5b.If you count non-political deaths from “harsh conditions,” then you can make the same argument about poverty + disease under capitalism.
-
5c. And I'm not even including the ~10-30 million deaths abroad from "capitalist" Washington's wars.
-
6a. At the beginning of WWII, *some* towns in Ukrainian SSR indeed welcomed the Germans. This attitude quickly changed. (See. K. Berkhoff)
-
6b. USSR lost ~26 mil in WWII after being invaded. The war touched every family. On Victory Day, we unapologetically honor our ancestors.
-
6c.My father's very Slavic grandparents lived in occupation; his father participated in the Murmansk Run; my other grandfather built roads.
-
6d.My family was part of the war effort. We lost some family in the 1930s purges too. And YOU are going to tell US how to view OUR history?

You're welcome to have an opinion on *ideology* but ignorance about Russian/Soviet historic facts among right-wingers is staggering.
