    if somebody has the time and the mental ability to sit through this video, i wanna know what the verdict was.

    Obvi, in reality, the USSR was a union. Each of the SRs had their own government, made their own decisions, and had the right to petition to leave the Union at will. But anti-communists hate that the USSR had such a fair system, so HM will probably quote directly from those “historians”.

      It peddled a double genocide-esque view that Stalin hated the Poles and Balts and sent ethnic Russians to settle there

        Literally nobody did so much for Poland as Stalin, at least in the last 500 years or so. Hell the direct effect of actions ascribed to Stalin by Polish historians would make him the greatest and most successful Polish nationalist in history of Polish nationalism.

      Meanwhile in the UK, If we want to even hold the referendum on whether we want to leave the union, we must get permission from the central government in London. And they’ll only say yes if they’re certain the result will be to remain.
