    By "East Europeans" you of course mean your fellow fascists. The vast majority of post Soviet citizens disagree.

      Estonian here. Soviet period was very problematic, and if you claim here that criticism of communism is fascism, then you are greatly mistaken. The crimes of communism during the Soviet period are well documented. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_crimes To point out that many Russians are longing for communism is quite possible, but these are the same Russians who are currently "liberating" Ukraine.
