A Buttery Pastry posted:Russians might have been, but Russia itself? Maybe I'm wrong, but it never seemed like Russia tried to portray the USSR as a bad thing which they too were victims off, which kinda seems like a prerequisite for co-victim status. Why should it anyway, given the heavily pro-Russian character of the state? What "Russia" would have spoken out against the USSR? The Politburo? Dissenting Russians had no voice, that's the thing about an authoritarian state with no free press. I can guarantee you the million+ Russians murdered in Stalin's purges and the Gulags would've had some critiques of the USSR. Regardless, asking an entire people to account for the actions of a regime that came into power in 1917, underwent dramatic changes and reforms in the ensuing decades, and collapsed twenty years ago is nonsensical.
