Sacred Haven of Debauchery

Firstly, it's debatable, and secondly, the Red Army also includes Afghanistan.

The Red Army was transformed into the Soviet Army in 1946. In Afghanistan, it was already the Soviet Army, which was no longer controlled by Stalin. And Afghanistan was indeed an epic fail – I don't know why they even started it...

I agree, but read my post more carefully; I'll highlight it specifically for you:

I wrote it above...

The laws aren't lenient; or do you think spending the rest of your life in a cell is considered quite lenient?) I don't think it's much better than being shot, lol. And if the laws don't work correctly in the ex-USSR, then there is a problem, but it lies in something else.

It's not that scary, and thanks to the prison fame created by all sorts of stupid TV series, it even evokes some kind of romance and appeals to the criminal element.
After Stalin's death, totalitarianism began to decline towards a more "democratic" form. And the country was destroyed not by Stalin, but by those who came after him – Gorbachev and the like. Khrushchev is also to blame, but he was a puppet in the hands of others for a long time (in particular, during the war in Afghanistan).

I see that everyone is consuming propaganda, except for the fans of the USSR and Stalin in particular. But maybe it's the other way around?

Both are propaganda, because we, as ordinary users, cannot know the whole truth to the maximum extent. But I'd rather consume our propaganda.

And are selfish people abnormal?)
It's better to be alive and selfish than to starve to death in the name of good, which everyone will forget, right?

right?
