  1. I'm from Russia and I totally agree with JP on his views on Russian history and communism.. But I'm very sorry to say I'm in the minority here. And the nervous laughs from the audience is a clear indicator that they don't understand how serious this question is.

  2.  @HarpoTheVillain  I must admit that's just my assesement. Bigger cities are much less red, but the rest of the country are pro-communist to a large extent. The history which people mostly know from schools has been and are very much falsified to this day. It's a very complex topic, but in a couple of words tsarist Russia has been painted black for decades and Stalins 'industrialization' overpraised. Lots and lots of people don't believe in Lenin and Stalin era purges.

  3.  @V.o.i.d.v  that's mostly because people (wrongly) consider Stalin like "a strong, harsh but just ruler" who was able to maintain "order" and punished people regardless of their social position.

  7.  @warrioroflight6872  thanks for you input. Now I'm inclined to consider marxism a kind of religion, not a scientific theory. So no matter how good your logic and argumentation are, they won't work with marxists. Come to think of it, their main 'proof' of communism is in future. They simply BELIEVE its the next 'inevitable stage' of human society - without (and even against) positive evidence to that.
