I promise I don't have a KGB agent behind me with a gun to my head. This is totally my own opinion.

That being said, commemorating the end of ww2 with a replay pack IS a bit cringy. Props for the initiative, not thrilled with the execution from a PR point of view. | ||

For various political reasons there's V-day in Europe (for the western allies) and Victory Day (for the USSR and later eastern bloc countries), I personally celebrate both even as I'm really, really pissed at what happened to my home country after becoming a part of the soviet sphere of influence. It happened before the end of the war anyway and less people dying on the battlefronts is a good thing. That being said, commemorating the end of ww2 with a replay pack IS a bit cringy.

Tens of millions died during a conflict that was basically hell on earth and we commemorate it with a replay pack for a video game. It's a bit silly. And I don't want to get into ANY ideological or political discussions, not on this part of the forum. The reason I stated my view on the holiday is to stress that I don't find the occasion offensive as some others might, I just fail to see any connection and basically any reason to link the holiday to a rep pack. Please don't jump on people that disagree with somebody's decision, this is the way of the world - you decide to do something for an audience and a part of the audience might dislike it.

This one is good  The Stalin regime was what it was, the gulag existed. No amount of memes will change that. Funny memes though. | ||

First, labor encampments still exist nowadays, remarkably even in those regions where human rights are advocated. Which is, of course, not an excuse for Stalin, but quite a reasonable doubt for us prior to rating anyone, if we want to become better. Otherwise nothing will change if we are ready to blame someone for what has not changed in our time. Second, mixing Nazi and Soviet ways is nothing more but obscuring crucial differences – such as the distinction between camps used in a deliberate policy of extermination, and those where people die through neglect. | ||

At least Nazis had shame for what they did, Russians have no shame, they haven't even paid for their war crimes. and bragging about their murderous history. | ||
