The end of ww2 in Europe is a good thing worthy of celebration. Such a holiday doesn't have a nationality imo. 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. Props for the initiative, not thrilled with the execution from a PR point of view.

Well, it got your attention, speaking from a PR point of view.

Well, it wasn't,
but I pretty much doubt it is of any value arguing with an overeducated guy who believes Gagarin was the first man on the moon


This one is good, bro. This one is good

We are all "what we are"
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.

yeah tell this to the Estonians who were killed and tortured by soviets for years. 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.

This is unproved blame. Add "millions may not be wrong" for sufficient credibility
I did not have a chance to live in USSR long (neither did you according to your birthdate), but friends and relatives of mine who are one generation older all as one refer to visiting Pribaltic states as one of the most desired vacations for Soviet citizen.
Read me correctly. In no place here I told that everything was awesome in old days, I'm just pointing out that what you write here is a deliberate obscuring.
