    This is leagues better than the Western narrative.

    That said, there are still so many missed opportunities to drive the point home. Such as, pointing out that all the Allies had connections with the Nazis too, much more cozy connections at that.

    It’s hard to believe he just casually was poking around Sovietepedia and discovered unknown things about Czechoslovakia that shifted his perception. But it’s equally weird to imagine why he would be disingenous with this.

    I like a lot about Putin but he’s someone I find impossible to fully trust.

      I think it’s possible he was reviewing documents for potential release or even was looking because he found recent revisionism irritating and he found the sheer absurdity all the more striking based on information he observed therein.

      I neither like nor trust Putin generally, but he frequently tells the truth about his enemies because that is enough to condemn them*

      *aside from the “The West is sending homosexual ideology here to make Russia weak” type stuff, obviously that is bullshit and should be called out.
