    Lol, now imagine that just until recently (like the whole SMO thingy) our propaganda here in Russia was similar but in an anti-soviet way. Stuff like “Bolsheviks use our genetic slavery” or “We have a slave mentality and we should fight it and our past” was fairly common to hear from government propaganda in all sources. Now they SUDDENLY call all their own propagandists “Western agents” and the same people who were paid to say all that shit go criminal. How do you like that kind of shit, eh? XD

      Extremely not fun fact: the term “homo sovieticus” is in common usage even in parliament here in Poland. Yup, they think anyone not liking capitalism is subhuman.

      Fuckin “slave mentality” articles. Oh I remember them well. Gazeta, meduza, all the others. They’ve toned it down, but still occasionally do this kind of crap.
