There's a lot of evidence to suggest that the bolsheviks in Russia caused WWII, and the German build up was a defensive reaction to their aggression. But you won't see that in your textbooks.

Another thing that bothers me is that the Soviet Union murdered some 30 million people BEFORE the rise of Nazism in Germany.

That's five fucking holocausts. But you never hear about this context when you read about the rise of fascism.

You're referring to the Holodomar, where about a decade prior to WWII, the bolsheviks in Moscow stole every last grain & crop from the outlying rural areas; deliberately starving all of them to death...about 30 million people died horribly.

I want to know why such an extraordinarily brutal event perpetrated by the bolsheviks (a religious/political class...guess the religion) is ignored, and all we ever hear about is the jewish holocaust.
