The enormous bot system Ukraine uses to push propaganda is promoted by the USA and NATO not anything remotely Soviet
Neither nation is communist btw though some here ape that Russia still is which is ludicrous

I do, certainly because they had a shared heritage whether the Ukrainians like it or not, they were part of the Soviet Union (and even had powerful and influential leaders who were of Ukrainian extraction) and are steeped in many of the same negative things, corruption being just one.
No doubt Ukrainians don’t want to admit that, and would rather embrace the “anti-Soviet” history. After the treatment of Ukraine by Stalin, who can blame them, but...it wouldn’t be the whole story.
If I say they are “Soviet” it doesn’t mean I say they are communists (they are an oligarchy) it means they have many of the inbred faults of the Soviet Union...utilization of over-the-top propaganda is just one of them.
In my eyes, both Ukraine and Russia engage in the equivalent of “running-dog-capitalism” we saw (and still see in Communist China) used.
To our Western ear, it gives them away, IMO.
how did so many of those bots wind up here trolling on FR?
