Long live the Great Stumble Backward!
RomCom1989
Well,my criticisms mainly extend to modern day Russia
I have little bad to say about the USSR as a whole,barring some Romania specific stuff like giving the Ukrainian SSR it's coastline and Bucovina,and of course the chauvinism that remained both in it's internal arrangements and in it's relations with it's "allies",which were more akin to satrapies than partners
That being said,I recognize it's historically progressive role and will always acknowledge it's role in liberating us from the nazi scourge and uplifting mainly agrarian nations into at least somewhat industrialized nations
Of course,this development wasn't completely even,and many mistakes were made,and I do agree we need to move away from the ghost of communism past,but I firmly believe Eastern Europe without them would have been a much more tragic place
This is beyond ripping the copper wiring out
We're in stripping the foundation territory
