22 to 40 percent because I made it up, tankies. If you do a reverse image search on this, all you get is a Reddit post and a bunch of Ukranazi propoganda sites.

    "yet today no one cares" if you breath the slightest bit of contempt towards capitalism among non-socialists you get asked why you justify stalin's crimes what the fuck are you smoking

    Some of my ancestors were relocated to the east from Ukraine, and the ones who weren't sided with the nazis. Take from that what you will.

    22-40% is such an absurdly huge range it makes me wonder why they even did it? If they're making up ranges, why not just say "experts believe as many as 40% died within 5 years"

    I hate that I can put in no effort and still write better anticommunist propaganda than these idiots.

    Listen man I'm all for the people, but saying "I doubt that forced relocation that was described as collective punishment killed that many people" isn't really helping. Records were hard to keep, but I ask you did the people who did die there deserve it? Stalin did plenty of things that are great, but defending him here seems lost. How did we get here

      Are you saying that the numbers stated here or that the description of the picture are accurate? If so, I'd love to see some reliable sources.

        No. I don't care about the picture or the stats. I'm just saying Crimea Tartar deportation did happen and debating specifics about it doesn't make it a good thing.

      We must understand reality, as grim as it may be. This isn't a defense of "our team" but a defense of the facts. Calling out someone who is lying to further their agenda is always a good thing, it is always vital to understand reality as it actually exists, and not as people like this will lie and manipulate people into believing it is.
