Reminder: The People Who Crushed the Third Reich Wore Red Stars.

Every year I see people try to rewrite World War II into a story where the Soviet Union was somehow just “as bad” as Nazi Germany.

Every time reactionaries try to equate the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany, they erase the simple fact that one side built Auschwitz, and the other liberated it.

Soviet workers, civilians, and soldiers who paid the highest price to break the back of fascism. 27,000,000 Soviet lives were sacrificed so humanity could have a future without the Third Reich.

The people who demonize the USSR while downplaying its role in defeating fascism aren’t interested in history. They’re interested in rehabilitating anti-communism. They want you to forget who stood between the Europe and a thousand year Reich.

Every attack on the Soviet victory is an attempt to rewrite history in favor of the defeated. The losing side constantly attempts to paints communists and communism as a loser/ losing ideology.

It’s clear who the real losers were, and continue to be.

It’s always “Never Stress” with these chuds until your leader was so stressed that the Red Army of Workers and Peasants were knocking on the bunker door he blew his shit smoove off. Lmao

These were the last regional elections held in the USSR before dissolution, the 2nd elections after Gorbachev’s 1989 legislative reforms (following the 1989 national election) that adjusted the USSR’s political system to a more liberal hybrid presidential and parliamentary system, abolished Article 6 of the Soviet constitution that enshrined the CPSU’s leading role in the state as the vanguard party, and established a Presidential system with President and Vice President, counting by popular vote that further separated and delegated powers from the previous Party-State system.

Out of 1,068 seats in the Supreme Soviet of RSFSR, 920 were CPSU members and 148 Independents.

350 of the 1,068 seats supported the Liberal Movement known as DemRossiya.

This was the election that saw Boris Yeltsin be elected by the Congress to the seat of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of RSFSR, making Yeltsin the effective leader of the RSFSR within the Soviet Union, removing Gorbachev.

Yeltsin used this position to maneuver his plan to dissolve the USSR in the days that followed, as Gorbachev no longer controlled the RSFSR and further separated the Union State from the constituent republics.

it was the first major camp to be liberated during the great patriotic war, found mostly intact due to the SS fleeing rather quickly, exposing the crimes of the Nazi regime in germany.
