or the pogroms that the pre-soviet monarchy backed by western liberal democracies
You gotta be fucking trolling, what fucking western liberal democracies? France?
Western Europe was almost all constitutional monarchies until the end of WW2 and even then what fucking backing of Tsarist Russia? Napoleon trying to conquer it centuries before and then Austria Hungary and Prussia trading with it?
Also who the fuck is trivialising the holocaust now by mentioning it in the same breath as pogroms, as if the scale and systematic nature of the former don't make them completely disanalogous?
I reiterate my former point: Fuck off tankie scum.
