You should hear what they have to say about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Apparently failing to stop the nazis is worse than actively assisting them in conquering and oppressing Poland.

Fun fact: Mentioning the Nazi-Soviet pact is a Federal crime in Russia today.

You don't think they made up for it a little with 8 million+ dead soldiers fighting the Nazis? And ya kno, getting to Berlin first and ending the European theater of WWII?

ohhhh of course! how silly of us! I'm sure all the queers who lost their lives to the Soviets feel sooooo much better in their graves knowing that. tell you what, why don't you dig some up, tell them what you just said, and see how they react. what's that? they can't reply? because they're dead? well who would have fucking thought. moron

No? What the fuck? That's not how morality works. Nothing about the Soviet Union's values or how they made decisions changed, as evidenced by them continuing to engage in oppression and imperialist aggression right up until basically the day they collapsed.

No. You aren't absolved of a bad thing just because you did a relatively good thing one time. Especially because the USSR continued to do imperialism after the war. You'd have to say Bill Gates is an ethical billionaire with this kind of reasoning.
