#Russia enters a shaky ground here, because if you look at 20th century nobody killed more Soviet people than… Soviet people themselves. The ethnic structure of Soviet leadership is more complex - Stalin was a Georgian, even if totally Russified - but leadership of VChK, NKVD, GULag and other countless repression structures in #USSR were always dominated by ethnic Russians. In late March, the State Duma rushed through a bill introducing penalties for denying the so-called “genocide of the Soviet people.” This happened weeks after news broke that Moscow’s shuttered Gulag History Museum is being turned into a museum on the same subject. Taking place while Russia draws international condemnation for its war in Ukraine, the pushing of the “genocide of the Soviet people” into the public debate shows that the Kremlin is trying to frame Russia as a victim while waving away its own crimes, such as the deportations of Crimean Tatars, Chechens and other Indigenous peoples. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/04/06/russia-is-redefining-genocide-for-political-purposes-a92434

The sad part is the amount of trash on the riverside and in the forest, most visible this time of the year due to lack of foliage and undergrowth. Including this truck tire made in the Soviet Union! It might be over 40 years old, has likely spent the last few decades here. #USSR #pollution #trash #Danube
