    Do you doubt that Stalin’s soviet union rounded up Jews, queers and minorities for the main purpose being extermination?

    What is the difference between “minorities” and “Jews” here?

      Minorities are minorities. Some religions, queers, poc, etc~ countries that the soviet union annexed. Ukrainians were considered a minority.

        Why did you scope Jews out from the other minorities tho?

        Also the groups you mentioned were hardly primary targets of soviet repression.

        So kinda odd to be naming victims but focusing on this when you look at the bigger picture of what Soviet regime has done.

        Both raw numbers and pro proportion wise.

        Crimean tartars were outright removed from Crimea with half dying en route to centrla Asia.

        25% of baltics states were forcefully removed due to being “enemies of the people”

        Some weird western bias here lol

          Because the Soviet Union was vehemently antisemitic.

          And Ukraine wasn’t a primary target of repression? Are you forgetting the holodomor?

            You mentioned Ukrainians already I was topping off with examples of other people targeted at scale, kazakh should be mentioned too tbh…

            As for anti semetism within USSR… Just because Jews got caught up in purges, doesn’t make it anti semetism.

            chema and NKVD were loaded with Jews esp near the top during Holodomor and Stalin killed them off after they did a good job.

            Is this anti-semitism you are talking about?

              I’m assuming you’re just blissfully unaware of the antisemitism within the Soviet Union.

              We’ll take the Doctor’s Plot as an example. The Soviet Union created a campaign where they said that Jewish doctors intended to kill leading communists, which of course just to purge more jews.

              Also what do you mean by good job?
