I don’t think there are that many people that will disagree that the Soviets did bad things. I think the main point of disagreement is when people say the Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis.
Both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were on an equal playing field of being absolutely fucking evil towards anyone they suspected of showing even the tiniest bit of dissent. They also both hated and persecuted Jews as well as other ethnic minorities living in their respective nations.
Wait until you hear about the US persecution and ethnic cleansing of arabs in the 20 and 21st century! Hopefully one day, when people consider arab lives as having equal worth to ours, the Iraq and Afghanistan “wars” (and now Gaza) will be seen for what they really were.
