tbf, this reminds me of:

But still though, noone is alive to see the British Empire in 1900, so it's nearly at the same status as the Roman Empire to Italians. Stalin is soooo recent O.O
I guess Russian education probably deemphasizes the bad shit Stalin did and our education probably emphasizes it, in the same way I heard very little about the bad shit the British Empire did from the curriculum and only heard it from the teacher herself.
p;edit I take back what I said about Roman Empire vs British Empire given many countries are still reaping the consequences of British Colonialism but the decisions of the Romans are pretty invisible at this point.
I don't understand why you guys even waste time responding to Arsonist.
The guy is an idiot

@Arsonist , stop wasting generous people's time.
:love:
That's... a detail. I've talked to Russians that are now back to their country, and they love Putin. He gave them their nation back. He's really good, REALLY. One of the last statesmen doing "real politics". Fury is right on that... Since Trump sucks (if you're a trumpist sorry but you will at least agree he's not a diplomacy master), Putin used that to gain an advantage on USA... and he did it pretty well IMO.
Yeah, Putin's a shit president, agreed. But he can't be anywhere near as bad as any of the Soviet leaders.
