The Russofiles won’t like this one.
You can take Russia out of the Soviet Union, but you can’t take the Soviet Union out of Russia.
So do young Americans!
“Young Russians love Stalin..”
That’s odd...so do our young democrats!
“The Russofiles won’t like this one.”
Say what they will for glorifying their horrific past but they will be around for a long time (unless China decides to move on them), compared to Germany, which is on such a guilt trip that they are unlikely to even be German by 2050, given its re-population project.
I've watched hundreds of hours of Russian YouTube, almost all from younger Russians, and I haven't see one express a love for Stalin or communism.
The only poll cited is a desire to celebrate the defeat of the Nazis.
It's amazing what propaganda ignorant people will accept.
But But But
Russia is sooooooooo CHRISTIAN dontcha know??
Vlad the Pooty is just a misunderstood Nationalist dontcha know??
But on the other hand, this article gives insights to the mindset of the Russian people. They are always looking backward. They are so busy remembering thier “great” past they can’t move forward very well. Thus, it is always a hobbled almost great power.
