15-20 years into Russofascism now though.

I couldn't care less about Stalin and Lenin rolling in their graves, but it sure does suck to see the deaths of 20+ million Soviet citizens in WW2 being spat on so thoroughly in the name of nationalism.

People don’t spit on the Soviet contribution to WWII. They spit on every other aspect of the Soviet government

Talking about Russian fascists invading their neighbors in a genocidal war, fam.

The current Ukrainian war? The one that mirrors Lenin’s invasion of Ukraine?

It certainly has some parallels, but that war was far more complex than this one, and Lenin never went around advocating killing Ukrainians for being Ukrainian, as far as I'm aware.

While he lived he even supported Ukrainian identity... And then he weakened, and died, and Stalin seized the reins.

But whatever you think about whether either was a true believer in communist ideals, I think we can both agree Putin doesn't believe for one second this invasion is an anti-fascist war.

And, of course, there's the simple fact that WW2 came after their invasion of Ukraine and had a whole different generation of troops.
