During the 1930s, many communists and socialists from Germany and Austria sought refuge from the Nazis in the USSR. But in a shocking betrayal, the Soviet secret police handed over hundreds of them to Hitler's Gestapo.

          you repeatably said, that all this are just things of the past, that justifying genocides of the past in not really an issue if it’s done by tankies.

            No I did not say that. I said that you will not be able to convince anyone otherwise when pointing out long ago examples that these people are probably already aware off and have already neatly rationalized away in their dogmatic world-view.

              ok I correct myself: you say I should not criticize contemporary tankies for legitimizing historical genocides.

              Remember: such posts aren’t just for tankies, they are mostly for the bystanders.
