[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the book on red terror
They were as bad if not worse than the Nazis
Read on what they did to the Baltic republic's. The president of Estonia was arrested with his family. His young son starved to death in a Russian orphanage
Many have called for a Nuremberg type trial for red crimes, it just has not happened[/quote]

The Baltics?  That's so awesome, coming from them.  Seeing as most Jews in the Baltics were rounded up not by the Nazis but by their erstwhile local talent.   So I guess the Jews of Latvia, say, never found out if Russians would be worse than the Nazis but they definitely did found out that the Latvians were as good as.[/quote]
Molotov Rippentrop
Estonia and Latvia were occupied by Soviets before Germany attacked Russia
Lots of civilians were put on train and deported to the Soviet Union, some were Jewish
The gulag in the archangel region had a lot of Latvian Jews
When Russians had to retreat the gave Germans the complete list of the regions Jews, as they had already compiled the list

Some were put on trains because their home looked classier than the neighbors, others needed to go because the city was to the east of the country and had to become Russian, others were hounded because they had joined organizations, like ladies embroidery, which was then declared counter revolutionary, others became enemies of the people because they were not in professions like: peasant[/quote]

Why don't you tell us about the warm welcome the Baltics threw to the advancing Nazis? And the rich and varied history of their collaborators?[/quote]
Sorry, conguerers are in control
Not conguered people, bad things happened for sure, but that doesn't leave the conguerers off the hook. Soviets did collaborate with the Germans. One believed in national socialism, another in Soviet socialism. Difference is that in one the enemies are class enemies, in the other race enemies

What is so wrong about talking about crimes of the red army?
The Soviet erected statue of the unknown soldier got to be known as the statue for the unknown rapist[/quote]
As a person born in the USSR, I agree. Oppression and tyranny are never ok. Some people still can’t understand the basic premise of human rights. In the SovietvUnion people were doing what the state told them to do, they were like domesticated animals. If they strayed and did not work, for instance, they were immediately jailed for 15 days. Even being late for work had serious consequences. I remember stories about women who slept in and ran out the door in nothing but a coat to avoid tardiness.[/quote]
