Moldovan parliament restricts use of Russian, prompts opposition walkout

Youre the hateful one, youre promoting the victim mentality of imperialists, only hateful envious ppl do that, also it wasnt russians doing all of the ussr achievements, half of them if not more are usually ukranians, belarussians, moldovans and all the many people russians used as they always do

For the most part, they stole, stole, and stole everything from other peoples, including culturally.

Buddy my friends in the east all live like slaves lol, russia sucks fir normal people

That’s the sad part. With Russia at least it’s obvious who the bots are. With Americans - absolutely no idea. One fifth of Americans are functionally illiterate and over 50% of them read below a sixth grade level, so I genuinely do not trust the average internet user from the US to understand geopolitics or form opinions or observations based on the last century of global history.

But the homogenization of states, even tho already in place before, only really picked up after WW1, leading to the erasure of national identities and languages that were minorities in these states. For example France with occitan, alsatian, breton, corse, etc. In the former Russian Empire, this process significantly slowed down after the civil war, as Lenin was in favour of promoting these minorities, legalising their language in politics and education and even pushing for more sovereignty for the SSRs in dealing with their own national matters over the USSR's central government. This is why the USSR is one of the few states in history that considered themselves "multinational". It wasn't until Stalin that this process got started back again and accelerated, seeing as he saw national identities as bourgeois propaganda, he pushed towards this heavy homogenization of the whole USSR. This was also accelerated by the war, as the westernmost republics were the most affected by this. With the weakened western republics, it was much easier to impose a unified "national" policy. Later in his life, his views aligned more with Lenin's, he even coined the term socialist nation as opposed to bourgeois nation to describe those under the USSR, and that the cultural homogenization of the people could never happen until the whole world was socialist. This was, of course, meaningless propaganda directed to those on the party more aligned with Lenin's thought, as Stalin and his successors (though not as heavily) continued this Russification policy. I reworded and went into detail in what I simplified in my first comment. Stalin was an educated man, not one I agree with and whose actions I publicly denounce and abhor even as a marxist myself, but it's interesting to see how his thoughts shaped what is now the former eastern block. Stalin was the one who coined the term Marxism-Leninism, even though he himself undid many policies that Lenin pushed for (Like a multinational state, LGBT rights, etc.). This is not to say Lenin was without flaws, of course, but that's another discussion. (I might have gone off the rails at the end, lmao. I'm sorry for calling you stupid due to a missunderstanding from both sides.)
