  1.  @mrsclio4752  Communism and fascism are two sides of the same coin.

  2.  @rb2964  It is incomprehensible what you want to express. Stalin and Hitler and communism and Nazism were both of the same ilk. And no, the SU did not give Poland half of the territory. First, the SU invaded Poland in 1939 and stole Polish territory. Because Churchill insisted that Poland should not be the victim, the Poles were compensated with German territory. Learn history!

  4. At present, realistic views come almost exclusively from Poland. The Russians in the context of the Soviet Union were no better than the Third Reich and the Soviet Union invaded Poland TOGETHER with the Third Reich in 1939 and immediately commited crimes.

  5. @Ž Š In this case Russia must give territory to Ukraine, Ukraine must give territory to Poland and Poland must give back German territory. I think the idea is good.

  6. @Ž Š In other places, such as Marburg, now Slovenia, or South Tyrol, the right of self-determination of the peoples was not respected, and in the case of Germany in the context of Versailles, the right of self-determination of the peoples was broken in so many places that there is a whole list on wikipedia.

  8. @Ž Š if it were up to the right of self-determination of peoples, the map would look much different today. What would be better. France, Belgium, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic would then be smaller.

  11.  @ВладиславСулима-б5у  Конечно, фашизм и коммунизм — противоположности, но две стороны одной медали. И, насколько это возможно, русские прошли через все это. Сначала коммунисты, а теперь империалистические фашисты.

  12.  @Beelzebubba2024  do not comment on European issues, which you clearly not understand. It is not welcomed in Europe, if non Europeans try ti judge something. The only non Europeans who are accepted as equal and who are heared are Japaneses.

  14.  @silviualbisoru5749  The matter is relatively simple: Germany won the war and the UK and France lost the war de facto. Russia also lost later. Even in ancient times, the germanic tribes did not care whether they won or lost. The Germanic tribes have always been concerned with the long-term consequences of wars. And that is a good thing.

  15.  @numbersix8919  may i ask how exactly we Germans are supposed to get a reminder? According to the latest statistics, we were still the fourth largest economy on the planet. And which failed state are you from?!
