Today, Lithuania marks the Day of Mourning and Hope (Gedulo ir Vilties diena). On 14 June 1941, the first mass Soviet deportations began. Thousands of Lithuanians,men, women, children, and the elderly, were torn from their homes and sent to Siberia and other remote regions of the USSR. We remember the victims. We honour the survivors.

The U.S. funded bio labs in Ukraine were for the disposal of Soviet-era biological weapons but the MAGAs are far too stupid to understand that.

The traditions of Admiral Oktyabrsky, who, during the defense of Sevastopol during the Nazi-Soviet War, also fled, taking with him the command staff and the party and Soviet nomenklatura, are alive.

Hot take: the post-Soviet countries shouldn't get to claim the legacies of stuff done under the Soviet Union.
The first computer in continental Europe was created in Kyiv in 1950. Ukrainian intellect has always been at the forefront of global technology.
Community note
The creator of the MESM computer from Kiev was Sergey Alekseyevich Lebedev (Russian: Сергей Алексеевич Лебедев), a Russian scientist, electrical engineer and pioneer of computer science in the Eastern Bloc, considered the "father of consciousness". i-programmer.info/history/9-mach

Today marks 85 years since the first Soviet mass deportations in Estonia. More than 10,000 people torn from their homes. 7,000 of them women, children, and the elderly. We will never forget the innocent lives shattered and lost. We will stand for our freedom. #NeverAloneAgain

🕯️ On 14 June 1941, the Soviet Union deported more than 15,400 people from Latvia in a mass deportation campaign. Some of those deported were arrested and taken to places of imprisonment, while the rest were forcibly resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan. Today, the Foreign Service commemorates 71 Latvian diplomats and their family members who were deported or executed. This brutal deportation tore families apart and shattered people’s lives and destinies. Russia has never accepted responsibility for these crimes and, for a fifth year, continues its war of aggression against Ukraine 🇺🇦 and its people. Russia must be held accountable for crimes against humanity.

#6. Victims of Yalta Harrowing story of betrayal at the end of World War 2. Millions of Soviet folk were anti-communist like the Cossacks, and sought refuge in the west. But the allies decided to hand them back over to the Russians, viewed as a certain death.

In 1960s, Soviet police used “phenotype charts”, facial sketches developed from mugshots, to identify a person’s ethnicity. The USSR, home to over 100 ethnic groups, assigned each citizen an ethnicity at age sixteen, typically based on the father’s heritage. These facial maps were used as quick-reference guides by criminologists to categorize suspected individuals into one of the USSR's numerous ethnic groups. In the Soviet system, ethnic identity was an official classification, notoriously known as the “fifth line” on identification records because it appeared as the fifth category on personnel documents. While the USSR officially rejected American-style race theories, the state utilized extensive ethnic profiling to track and register its diverse population of over 100 distinct nationalities. © Reddit #drthehistories

This is footage from the Nuremberg trials showing Nazi crimes committed in the Soviet Union. It was presented as evidence of genocide against the Slavic population. Millions of Russians killed simply for being... Russians. This footage was never translated for Western audiences. It remains largely unknown outside of Russia. The documents exist, the evidence was presented, but the West chose not to share it. You've been told endlessly about certain victims of Nazi Germany. You've heard their stories repeated in films, museums, and classrooms. But the systematic extermination of Slavs, the largest group murdered by the Nazis, is barely mentioned. Villages were burned. Entire populations wiped out. The Nazi plan was Lebensraum, which meant clearing the land of Slavs to make room for German colonization. All of this was documented at Nuremberg and all of it was proven. Also, all of it has been quietly buried in the Western narrative. You wonder why? Because acknowledging the scale of Nazi crimes against Slavs complicates the story the West wants to tell. It forces uncomfortable questions about who enabled Hitler's expansion eastward, who delayed opening the second front, and who ultimately benefited from the devastation of Soviet territories. And most importantly, could that same agenda still be at play today? Watch the footage. See what they never showed you.

Absolutely true. Puttin said before he was elected (chosen?) that he intended to recreate the Soviet Union and bring in all the former countries under Russia. But Russia has been nationalistic since right after WWII. They are as imperialistic and nationalistic as was Germany, and many countries before. Power hungry.
