Also, worth mentioning, even the Russian government, in a more normal time of 2008, condemned the acts of the soviet union that led to Holodomor (or the mass famine that was rampant during collectivisation in general), effectively saying the ends didn't justify the means
«Депутаты Государственной Думы, отдавая дань памяти жертвам голода 30-х годов на территории СССР, решительно осуждают режим, пренебрегший жизнью людей ради достижения экономических и политических целей…»
2 April 2008, Resolution № 262-5 ГД
Of course, they've probably rewritten history a few more times since then, and that's from your own beloved government, not CNN, not BBC
the famine and the fact that the grain was taken to feed the industrial centers aren't even contested by Russian sources, the argument is - was it used specifically as a weapon to punish Ukraine, aka a genocide, or was the famine just good old incompetent gov causing the death of millions and millions?
You've clearly been triggered by the word Holodomor, but you need to be able to look at what your country has done in the past and recognize that a lot of it was disgusting, and what is happening now is disgusting too.
I don't simp government, I dont support wars, i didn't for Blair during Iraq, and i don't deny the horrors committed by the British Empire either.
These are just facts of life, but a lot of Russians are the ones brainwashed into thinking they have never done anything wrong in history.
the other ones are brainwashed into Putin worship , image being a bitcoiner and bowing down to lick the boots of an autocrat.
As Shvechuk said, Родина, друзья, это не жопа президента, которую нужно всё время целовать
