1. Studied history and talked to those who lived tduring that time period.
2. Have mates from Russia including those who grew up in the Soviet era. One of them had their dad disappear between 1992-1994(forget the exact year) and his passport was sent to them from Siberia. No they never found their father or exactly where he was sent. This was common especially when Stalin was in charge.
3, Went to Russia in 1991 right after the fall of the Soviet Union. Saw things with my own eyes.
4. The Russian winter is what really defeated Hitler.
5. Saw the Russian ruble take a massive nose dive in the 1990s.
I would hardly call the Russians living here refugees. There are cheaper options to avoid being drafted.
Did Russia help with WW2? Yes, but they are not the heroes you claim they are.
What a claim even adding various key points.
Studied history ? Oh Well, there are a lot of people study social science, finishing their studies they ended up stacking item on the shelves of the supermarket chains. There are people who are studying economy, finance, finishing their studies they become benefit scroungers, keep losing money in the stock market, fall into the Ponzi pyramid scheme. Many well known Computer coders, programmers do not even study computer science.
"Are you a well known historian have you done the research by your own
using a proven research methodology to make such a strong claim? Please let us know your publications in well known journal in History ?? Not
a low quality chit chat from the people who have the same political views with yours. Any link ??? "
The thread is initially about refuge and now a few people try to bring their political views.
Just to make it clear I never say that those Russians in Bali are bad or good people. Good/Bad people are everywhere. What about other nationalities getting caught smuggling drugs to Bali Indonesia? I disagree with sweeping generalisation of Russians people, let alone comparing them with Nazi. The people who single out other people just because of their nationalities, ethnicities are racists.
