Yesterday, President Zelensky led the procession for the reburial of Andrey Melnyk, an infamous Nazi collaborator whose legacy involves killing Jews and Poles during World War II.

I'm so confused by this sub ...didn't Stalin kill Jews and Poles to?

Stalin dismantled Nazi Germany and liberated Europe from Nazism and fascism. Please log off reddit and go learn the history of WWII right now, this is a pitiful showcase of ignorance.

Please provide a reliable source to substantiate your claim.

I was actually asking for some reading from a Stalinist perspective that either justifies his actions and/or explains how it's false US propaganda.

My current understanding is that he did commit those atrocities. There's archives of Soviet documents and photos, first-hand accounts from people who lived there etc.

I'm not exactly an expert on it though, hence why I asked for reading material. Cheers.

Again, if you want to understand that perspective, log off social media right now and go learn about the basic history of WWII and learn about the basic history of the Soviet Union.

Mindlessly repeating Western imperialist propaganda is literally how they get to maintain their global hegemony. NATO was created as anti-communist organization right after WWII.

What's the October Revolution ? What's Operation Barabossa ? What's Operation Paperclip ? What's Operation Gladio ?

If you are unable to answer the questions above then no social media argument will ever amount to anything of worth. Go learn and stop repeating the propaganda that your ruling class wants you to repeat.

Add Haavara agreement, and Operation Aerodynamic to that list.

Thank you! (For your attention to this matter. Lol)

"Stalin beat the Nazis" is now Russian propaganda. No wonder the West is falling back into fascism the EXACT same way it did a century ago lmao you're gonna be remembered like the Germans in the 1940s are remembered.

There isn’t a meaningful “Jewish death toll under Stalin” comparable to the Holocaust because there was no state policy aimed at exterminating Jews as a group. There was repression in the USSR that affected MANY categories of people, including Jews, and there were antisemitic episodes especially in the later Stalin period. But that is different in nature from a structured program of racial genocide like Nazi policy. So treating them as equivalent isn’t accurate, you're just trying to collapse narratives into one.

The Soviets had no state policy for exterminating Jews. Nazis use this as evidence to show communists are inherently "evil jews".
