    I have a picture of a Polish-Soviet friendship monument in Kaliningrad that I took in 2019. The plaque indicating its original dedication was long gone by the time I visited.

    Anyone else have a bunch of matrioszka dolls in their house in the 90’s? My parents kept them on a shelf in the living room

  3. Specially after diving the country with their Nazi friends in the molotov-ribbentrop pact.

    Go ask Ruzzians if they know about it, and 99.99% will ask you they not know that Stalin and Hitler were beasties till one of them decided to want more.

  4. For never.

    For the context, in 1980 the puppet government allowed to register independent trade union ‘Solidarność’, in a while about 10 million people joined, that was about a half of the adult population, rest was either in the ‘Solidarność’ of farmers, or in the communist party, for benefits and peace, or they were in both.

    In 1981 the army took over, introduced martial law, delegalized Solidarność and imprisoned most of its leadership. There were also some massacres of protesting workers, tortures, other repressions, just like the other times.
