The people voted for those reforms. How can you claim that the Soviet Union was a democracy while also asserting that glasnost occurred for no reason and without the support of the people?
Nostalgia doesn’t prove shit.
The Holodomor isn’t a conspiracy and everytime you refer to it as such it just proves what scum you are.
Glasnost occured for a reason, yes. It also hurt the economy. Democracy doesn’t mean “everything is perfect, actually, and what people vote for is perfect too.”
Widespread and consistent polling data showing that most people believed Socialism was a better system than Capitalism proves quite a lot.
The famine in the 1930s was real, the racial motivations were likely not. Calling me “scum” for calling out your acceptance of debunked propagandists like Robert Conquest when you can’t actually contest the facts doesn’t make you correct.
