This. But not a popular sentiment here. Russia is one of the last bastions of Christianity on earth. They get shit on for the Soviet era but it’s a small blight on what is otherwise a glorious national history. We’ll have our own “small blight” here in just a bit.

I would think the Holodomor is more then a small blight.

I think he means Russia as a society and not the USSR. Communism is absolutely a blight and the biggest one known.

go take that grievance up with the socialists who enacted it. Their biggest current branch is in the White House.

That's because you haven't compared it to what Joe has in mind. I mean, Joe the Commie. D'oh! I mean Joe Biden, the commie, not the other Joe the Commie!

AAMOF, I was just thinking of the Holodomor. A controlled strangling of a population. Hmmm...CoronaVirus, anybody? Controlled curtailment of work. Controlled curtailment of income. If you have the income, there's no place to spend it, because it's illegal to go to places to spend it. Coupled with extreme price increases? Coupled with extreme loss of energy resources?? (See: Keystone cancellation.) Add the upcoming hyperinflation....
