I am not the ableist slur you used. Beyond being uninformed of the political climate in Russia, I can’t believe you even dare to suggest that using barely trained convicts as “expendables” while giving out the most venerated medals to their Nazi commanders is not a very Nazi thing to do and then follow that up with claiming you’re not whitewashing anything. It’s surreal to see takes like this on a left-leaning forum.
Nah, I only read Russian language sources when it comes to Russian internal matters. In the Russian ML communities, the unfortunately sometimes prevalent hexbear thinking about the Russian government being anything but Nazi would be met with confusion at best, yet certain users here like to educate me despite never having been to Russia, not being able to speak Russian, and not trying to learn what is actually happening in Russia beyond RT and Kremlin press releases.
