>Modern Russians identifty as Nationalists and make fun of Westerners and their leftism. >Westerners & others criticize their soviet past. >Also Russians: WAAAH STALIN DINDU NUFFIN WRONG, THE SOVIET UNION WASN'T ALL BAD! SHUT UP YOU NAZI. Why are they like this?
They just banned "Death of Stalin" and I remember them chimping out against Company of Heroes 2's depiction of Soviets.
Because the accomplishments of the Soviet Union are integral to their national identity.

>genocides are integral to their national identity Well that explains alot...
Brayden Hall
of course it doesnt make sense, russian nationalism is a textbook example of manipulating the masses, in this case to distract them from their kleptocracy

who are you quoting OP?

>Modern Russians identifty as Nationalists and make fun of Westerners and their leftism. They've did so under the reds too.
WestYuro leftism and Russian Marxism are two very different things.
It should have been translated more correctly as "Kike-Masonic" masters, zhidomasonskiye hozyayeva
Hudson Cox
Tbh the word "Zhid" used to mean just "Jew" before the Bolsheviks declared it a slur and replaced it with Evrey. Other Slavic nations still say Zhid.

ah yes stealing inventions from the germans and americans is quite the accomplishment. the only reason the USSR was able to survive for over 50 decades was because of the high iq jews in the government. russians themselves are a vile wretched group of barbaric aids ridden subhumans. the only two competent leaders of the USSR weren't even russian, because russians only know how to be slaves.
Jonathan Sanders
No, it already became slur around mid-19 century.

People who actually lived in Communist =/= Western Liberal SJW Far Leftism.
There's a reason why the Chinese - who live in a country ruled by a Lefty government- make insults of Western Liberals and "Lefties."
Soviet past has nothing to do with Westerner leftism.
Both company of heroes and Death of Stalin are simply a case of vilification in historic setting. Well, that simply means that Germans are low IQ slaves and despots who chimped out against their Jewish superiors, using their gifts of culture and technology. At least Russians have enough reason to no know what's good for them.

Yeah throwing expensive shit into space while their population was starving. What an achievement
It doesn't mean Jew, it means Yid, short for Yiddish.

Nice larping as Stefan "Spanking is bad" Molyneux. That fucking faggot.
Brayden Hernandez
Not for nothing but if you ban works that criticize you, it comes across that you can't argue against it

Having been to Russia, and having a lot of Russian friends it is rather hard to explain. 1) Most don't deny Stalin was a bad guy, but he is also a great leader at the same time and saved the soviet union so it is a hero. it kind of cancels itself out. 2) they never commit genocide. Atleast compared to the nazis, everything that resulted in large deaths was mostly due to really poor management (no, i am not denying soviet crimes like Katyn...). 3) they ban a lot of western films because they make a mockery of the soviet union and russia even though it is meant as a comedy. They really dont like to see their history mocked. If they do it, it is okay, but if another country does, well, that just pises them off.
You can't ignore how important the soviet union was to Russia, its a weird mix of soviet nostalgia, modern nationalism, and this weird love of imperial Russia. That pretty much sums up the modern political views of russians lmao
>Stalin was a great leader >they never commit genocide >

My parents and grandprents lived in the ussr. Nobody was starving. Only during the war under german occupation. You americans need to anderstand that not eating exesive food and becoming fat like a barrel does not equal starving.
Luis Thomas
Yeah they havnt brought such marvels of human civilization to the world as hollywood, mcdonalds, wallstreet, rapmusic and cancer industry. God bless america
Jack Miller
Probably because westerners aren't criticizing the Commie aspect of the USSR. Since a lot of people in the west are advocating a Communist government they have say the USSR was true communism.
So it boils down to insulting a country's actions, which gee, I wonder why nationalists wouldn't like that.
Jayden Clark
shitty film... not funny at all. No wonder they banned it in Russia. Why help the producers make money of a bad film. Good policy if you as me.
