Many people WORLDWIDE still consider Russia is the Soviet Union. That ended in 1989 at the instigation of Mikhail Gorbachev. President Reagan uttered those famous words. ‘Mr Gorbachev. Tear down this wall! Russia is NOT communist. It’s taken years but bit by bit Russia is cleaning out those that destroyed her. In fact, in 1993 under a new Constitution, Russia became a Democratic, federative, law based state. In fact their Constitution states that ‘No ideology may be established as a state or obligatory one’. That also includes religion. Russia is more Democratic toward its people than ANY western nation where the West are ushering in at lightning speed totalitarianism. Now people might understand why the rabid left wanted to destroy Russia.

Only thing I really question. Why does Communist Flags and symbols still feature prominently on buildings and in Military Parades. And why there’s still statues of Lenin and Stalin in public spaces. Hell. Red Square is still a thing. Doesn’t really seem like they’re moving on that much.
Seems to me they want to hold onto the memory of when they were on top. Even if they’ve officially moved on.
Though to Russias credit. Monuments to the White Russian faction of the Civil War have started to appear slowly.
How many statues of American ‘heroes’ have been torn down in the last 5 years? The Gadsden Flag is beloved by Patriots but despised by the left. Russia’s flag is red, white and blue, not the hammer and sickle. The hammer and sickle and red star design from the flag of the Soviet Union (1955–1991) was a symbol meant to represent proletarian solidarity – a union between agricultural and industrial workers. It was first adopted during the Russian Revolution, the hammer representing workers and the sickle representing the peasants. Same with the Statues of Lenin and Stalin. Evil men. But, the schools in Russia teach their children about these men and the absolute grief and death they caused to millions. It’s a reminder of their past. Best out in the open and taught about than ignored.
People who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it. I think this is a wise approach.
That's why I'm torn on teaching kids about islam. Do we destroy all evidence that the ideology ever existed, and not teach about it openly except when asked about it, or do we give people a real education on it and how it's completely incompatible with free human nature?
Knowledge is inevitable. Teach it, and give it the context that bad teachers won't. There is nothing so gross or evil that it is not worth knowing about someday, if only to recognize and reject it.
It should be taught but truthfully. Today we are experiencing a huge surge in schools to teach CRT and a woke/trans agenda. To me that is much more dangerous. Islam would not stand for that. Any religion (including the Green Agenda) should be examined along what Christ did on the cross. Did God raise, Mohammed, Buddha, Jim Jones, Ron Hubbard, Joseph Smith, from the dead? No. But He raised Jesus Christ. Within those teachings, it brings up those that worship CREATION instead of the CREATOR. The Green Agenda has become a cult. A very dangerous cult. Look at Europe. Those leaders that have taken their populations down this path are going to experience mass genocide as people die due to not having heating. Heating that God Himself provides. The cold kills more than 7 times compared to heat. These leaders because of the depopulation (VAX) agenda, are killing millions worldwide. Putin stood up to them, Gaddafi and others were no so lucky. Putin stopped the genocide of Russian people in the Donbas and the worlds leaders threw every sanction they could at him and the Russian people. He made ONE STIPULATION. Pay for Russias gas with gold or the Ruble or you don’t get any. Many thought he was joking. Putin never jokes. The ignorance and the arrogance of the West will be learned about in history books for generations.
