    Read about literacy rates, poverty and life expectancy for starters. “Building hospitals and schools” is the answer to “so what was the ussr doing in those countries” lmao get better propaganda. The prop I choose to follow is atleast backed by LOTS of history.

      I’m not following propaganda, I lived it. My family left the Eastern block looking for a better life. I was born in West Germany myself, my mother told me the reason for that was that she had a terrible time giving birth to my older brother back home.

      Hearing stories of life under Soviet control from all my family contradicts post I see here glorifying the USSR. I don’t understand why this contradiction exists, so I’m trying to ask people why they came to the conclusion that the USSR was good. And in particular here how occupying countries against their will is a good thing?
