well that would be explained if the soviets didn't really think the ethnicity of the people murdered mattered. It's as wrong to kill a Roma or Jewish person as it is to kill anyone else after all
That’s true but it’s also probably true that the mass murder of Jews there being one of the biggest single mass killings of the Jewish Holocaust deserves special acknowledgment.
Now, I’m not commenting one way or the other on whether the Soviets failed to do that because I really don’t know, I was just relaying what I believe to be Blinken’s justification for what he said in the tweet, for anybody who’s wondering what the hell he’s even getting at. I still think he’s being a disingenuous and ridiculous using the phrase “buried the history” because we know that the Soviets did not engage in Holocaust denialism. There’s a nuanced conversation to be had, Blinken isn’t doing that, he’s reaching for a cheap political score against the Russians.
I can see justifications for both as the decimation of the Jewish population was especially tragic but also the idea that Jews aren't a true part of their homeland is antisemitic and it would be bad to in the wake of the holocaust acknowledge any of the logic behind it
