In Russia it doesn't even matter what your ideology is, the vast majority of people lost out in the privatization of the 1990s. It was absolute chaos and it was a terrible period. I've spoken to a lot of people - people our age - who whose childhood took place in the 1990s, and they say they remember times where they didn't have anything to eat except for bread and water. So the kind of breadlines and hardship that the Soviet Union is always accused of, that was actually what capitalism was like in the in the 1990s in Russia.

The people that are creating the mainstream narratives about Russia and the USSR, they're not even Russian, they're Americans that grew up in in the United States and decided to - like you said - cherry-pick the perspectives of super anti-communist people, that came from the the USSR and eastern Europe. I think the the biggest example that we can use is Timothy Snyder who Grover Furr calls out [for what Snyder writes in] his book Bloodlands, because he makes all of these crazy assertions about the things in the USSR that most people in Russia and even in eastern Ukraine - which are relevant to his writings - would think are ridiculous. And the reason is because he only cites super ultra-nationalist sources, like sources from people who are like the descendants of nazi collaborators. These are the sources that are being used by mainstream academia to frame a narrative what the USSR was like.

The Baltic states have torn down their Soviet past following the war in Ukraine – a photo essay.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began earlier in 2022, had accelerated debates about Soviet-era monuments in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
