It is a felony in Russia to mention that WWII started in 1939. Only allowed narrative is The Great Patriotic War started in June 1941.

It's also a felony to mention Stalin's purges, the Bolshevik Pogroms in Poland, the Holodomyr where Stalin murdered 5 million Ukrainians,

Read up on Nazinsky Island where Stalin sent 5,000 "Kulaks" (subsistence farmers) who resisted forced collectivism. Over 3,000 died in 6 weeks from disease, starvation, bullets and cannibalism.

Stalin made my people eat each other, and it is illegal to mention this in the free, glorious russian empire.

I don't have to read about it. My grandfather is Holodomor survivor. My other grandmother was sent with family from Odesa to Birobidzhan (Far East).
