How do you respond to this? It’s not something I’ve done a lot of research into, but it seems like one of the few critiques where you just say “critical support for the USSR, we need to learn from the past mistakes the soviets made and do better the next time around.”

learning second language type stuff or shuffling people (*as in workers, not deportations, which weren't russian people being moved around) around ussr itself? If the second one, why anarchist suddenly concerned with ethnic purity? If the first one, what second language should people in ussr learn, english?

Like don't get me wrong, deportations inside ussr using kazakhstan as a dumping ground (crimean tartars definitely, but that was also uzbekistan i believe) and nuclear tests - that's very much bad, but i think, on the latter, ussr did them in russian parts as well, so it's equal sparsity of population stuff, not some deliberate policy.

Sorry to sound defensive of liberalism, but there's a difference between caring about ethnic purity and not wanting forced relocations of ethnic groups.

yeah that seems like a very bad faith interpretation to me
