Seriously? Links to the Holodomor, which Western propaganda portrays as a Ukrainian genocide, ignoring the simultaneous famine in many regions of the USSR, the assertion that Ukraine was a satellite state and not a literal part of Tsarist Russia and the USSR (With that logic, Hawaii is an American satellite state, lmao.), links to obviously biased Ukrainian sources in support of a completely slanderous article about attempts Russians to destroy the Ukrainian language? Dude, don't try to sell crap to someone whose ancestors lived in Ukraine for centuries. In the Russian language there is still a meme “helping the starving people of the Volga region,” referring to the zone of this famine in a place completely far from Ukraine.
Ukrainian nationalists simply turned this into a convenient propaganda tool, pretending that the famine only happened in Ukraine and that Stalin, for some crazy reason, decided to kill all Ukrainians (just because he's evil, yeah). In fact, local officials literally told him that everything was fine and were subsequently shot for negligence and forgery of documents. The same thing with the supposed “preparations for an attack on the West,” when Stalin, stupidly, until the very last minute, did not believe that Hitler would attack him and even devalued the Soviet intelligence officers who reported this (for example, read about the sad fate of Richard Sorge, who died warning Stalin, but he did not believe him). Or how the command of the Soviet fleet literally risked their careers and lives to prepare the fleet for a potential Nazi attack despite Stalin's skepticism. But with clowns like you, he SUDDENLY went from a the fool who trusted the lies of the Nazis to a master of secret plans, lmao.
At least try to google what Ukrainization is and what genre the most popular Ukrainian band Chervona Ruta played (Ukrainian folk rock in a country that supposedly oppresses Ukrainian culture, yeah). The main Ukrainian Soviet film studio named after Dovzhenko literally specialized in films about Ukrainian history and culture. Gross mistakes that you simply don’t realize due to lack of the necessary education. The Soviets literally promoted national culture in all its manifestations within the framework of socialist international ideals. Especially in areas that suffered from Tsarist Russia. To such an extent that asking about roots in the USSR was considered vulgar and ugly, because by showing interest in this, you showed that a person’s personality is determined for you by ethnicity. Therefore, the USSR always promoted internationalism and national revival.
Or how the Baltic countries received endless resources from Russia (just like they are doing now from the EU). This continues in modern Russia, Russian nationalists constantly criticize the authorities for funding various national republics.
And you're literally trying to defend learning history on YouTube with "you didn't provide yours"? You still have the nerve to demand that I justify myself, lmao. Dude, I've lived here for over 30 years, my ancestors include Russians, Ukrainians and Jews of all different political views and social backgrounds. Just enough. What you are trying to attribute to the USSR is true for most Western capitalist or monarchical regimes, but it was never characteristic of the USSR as a socialist state.
And don't even try to put your scarecrow on me, I never claim that communism was the ideal ideology, I was even a critic of communism for most of my adult life myself. But this does not mean that I will buy all pseudo-historical nonsense and propaganda clichés just because I am biased against communism as any radical ideology. Especially when it concerns my country and even goes so far as to justify Nazi propaganda. This is my last answer, I’m not going to spend half my life here discussing nonsense that someone found on YouTube or modern Ukrainian nationalist journalism.
