Anyone who calls any part of Soviet history except it's eventual downfall much positive is an idiot.

SS was also an army, there were 38 army divisions by the end of the war with SS insignia many of them under army command.

There is this thing called Soviet Chic you can google it just sift through my other responses. People do that shit, and the fact does not even matter to you.

I doubt you could buy stuff like that by accident, but it's called Soviet Chic, was quite popular in France in the late 2000's.

Yeah they just killed a bit more than that, only difference is they were made up of many different nationalities, not just Jews and Romas. Most historians agree that the number of people killed in the Gulags and by the purges is around 15 million and that does not include things like the Holodomor. There are…

So these girls are trying to glorify Nazism? No they are not they are just clueless youth from a culture so far removed from the ones that have experienced Nazi atrocities that symbolism does not register as a tabo to them, much like Western youth might think of communist symbols as cool and wear them not giving a…

Name one thing the Nazis did the Soviets have not done every single horrendous crime can be matched the only difference is they killed millions of people in Eastern Europe and Asia so nobody cares.

Have you heard of Gulags, the Holodomor or the Katyn massacre?

Westerners don't seem to care they are offending people using actual USSR army issue clothing peaces as fashion accessories, so why should Koreans care about resembling Nazis?

This article is actually a great improvement for this site, it's the first time the most underprivileged group in America has gotten acknowledged on this site outside offensive tshirts.

I approve access to every form contraception and I am firmly pro choice, but as somebody who became father still in high school(do to the USSR not having any sex ed, condoms being a deficit product and teens still being teens), and still being married 30 years latter with three adult kids with degrees, I resent the…

Please don't use the suffering of millions to make a straw man argument against people wanting to implement at least some social safety structures, that most of the world has, in America. It's insulting!

The thing I am asking is what does "predominately or almost exclusively cooked" entail in numbers and what are those numbers for single men. That book is mighty old the world has changed a lot since the 70's and some of the sources are almost a hundred years old now.

First don't know your sources, but a majority can be 51% or it can be 90% and it makes all the difference.

You can ask the North Koreans that, oh wait you can't.

25 years ago I lived under one of the oppressive and murderous regimes in human history. I had to lie every day of my life, I was forced to be afraid of my neighbors and felt utmost terror at every encounter with authority. I had to sing songs and recite poetry that honored the glory of genocidal maniacs who were…

I really love not having to deal with everything assholes in Moscow come up with. It really is worth being one of the poorest countries in the EU but with all human rights in place and as it turns out with a gay foreign minister who Russians hated even before they knew he was gay.

The internet is your friend, the Netherlands are more densely populated than Japan, and as I mentioned has safer roads per vehicle count and distance driven by those vehicles.

Depends on what kind of refreshner we are talking about here a 30 min lecture will not turn a bad driver into a good one. Japan does have safe roads safer than most but there are countries with even safer roads and shorter renewal processes, not saying a shorter process is better, but pointing out that a longer one…

Not saying lectures are bad, but the Dutch systems does just fine since it's it has fewer road fatalities per 100k motor vehicles and lower fatalities by distance driven by vehicles than Japan.
