Don't confuse the soviet union with Russia.

In the Soviet union only half the population was Russian. 15% of the Soviets where Ukrainian for example

Ah yes, the good old “everything good from the Soviet Union was because of non-Russian soviets and everything bad about was because of the Russian soviets”. It’s astounding that open bigotry is tolerated here.

Russian victim complex is so strong that mentioning other nationalities within Soviet Union is “bigotry” and “Russophobia”.
