[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here. 19:39 pp, pls take off your rose glasses. I just want to address 1 issue - Russification that you don't seem to realize existed. It doesn't refer to Russian speakers having an advantage or Russian being used as a common language, it refers to ethnic people who were deported and then replaced with ethnic Russians. 10% of schools taught in ethnic languages, so in Ukraine as an example out of every 10 schools, only 1 taught in Ukrainian. Universities taught in Russian, heck even names were Russified. This is going well beyond relationship discussion but as a person who was born in ussr, I am amazed at deliberate closing of eyes to the tragedies of totalitarian regime. It was a totalitarian regime that perished millions of people through gulag, holodomor, deportations, social injustice, a system that prevented free movement of people - but hey, women who managed to avoid all those, had better sex than their western sisters.[/quote]

I don't think I have rose glasses on - I acknowledged that life in the USSR sucked in many ways. I also don't know why you think people born in the USSR - as you and I were - must agree on every aspect of its nature. As someone who grew up in the Caucasus I think I can catalog the deported peoples just as well as you.

What is the source of the number that only 10% of schools taught in ethnic languages? That sounds doubtful.  In the entire country of Georgia, there were only seventeen schools that taught in Russian, so the 10% number definitely isn't true for that area.

The tragedies of the totalitarian regime affected everyone - certainly Russians were not spared from them.  [/quote]
