to get rid of him

not to mention royalist tattoos and religious ones

yes

if you convince everyone that you need to purge eveyrone to win a war against an existential thread

and you win

then you can't continue purging everyone

the problem was the soviets had no reason to exist ideaologically in the eyes of the people post mid 60s

their political legitimacy was they won ww2

their economics were terrible adn tehy ran out of money

Here, a tattoo from gulags, it says" "Jews, they are parasites of the whole of the Earth's globe"

the moment central europe could make better stuff than them

like the hungarian and croatian aks

are so much better tha nthe russian ones

they actually work

and shoot straight

On the left, it says "Communism - Jewish Invention"

yes rrussia does not like jews

as the tsars did not let jews into russia proper

there were neer actual jews in russia

jews were just in what they conquered

putin wants soros dead or alive in russia

Yes but what amazes me is how preseved memories prisoners had about tsarist era and bitterness towards communism during as early as 50's

wew what a time to be alive

well. russia in 1913

had a better eocnomy

than in 1963

pre ww1, russia was the largest agriculture exporter in europe

and the soviets lied abour peasant literacy

about 40% of peasants were literate

and 75% in cities

along with 90% of men

*near cities

Yes, Soviet economy never recovered to Tsarist era levels

in the PETRINE EMPIRE

despite all hte BS about "rapid industrialization" (quantity over quality)

male peasants would work in the cities

and then learn to read there

and come back to the village

and teach other male peasants

as it's really MUSOCVY -> TSARDOM of RUSSIA -> EMPIRE OF PETER

who conquered all the shitty baltic and ukraine
