Russophobia has been normalised, even here in Ireland everyday in work and with "friends" I have to bite my tongue as I listen to racist lie after lie. Russian blogger is attacked & called "Vatnik" in Lithuania (Never forget the Holocaust began there before the Nazis rolled in)

Poor Laurynas 😔 He is actually Lithuanian blogger but he speaks Russian and makes videos both in RU & LT. The only thing he does is trying to explain to people that they should not believe everything they see and points out his country’s flaws..

Thanks for the context it makes it much worse

Rightfully so. Remind me, what is the Molotov-Ribbentrop act?

UK and France declined an antifascist pact with the USSR in the mid 1930s which would have saved Poland and Czechoslovakia, and then made their own pacts with Hitler, who openly talked about colonising the east just as UK and France had colonised the west, that is the pretext

The Holocaust began in Lithuania before the Nazis rolled in? Is that so? You do know that before the Nazis rolled into Lithuania it was {checks notes} occupied for a year by the Soviet Union? So you’re effectively saying the Holocaust was begun by the Soviets. Well done 👏🏻

No, it's not even remotely possible, antisemitism was punishable by the death penalty in the USSR, if you knew your nazi history you'd know that their propaganda was always referring to "Judeo-bolshevism" The genocide of Lithuania's Jews began just after the Soviets retreated

@darragh_powell As awful as it sounds I'm afraid your absolutely right. I remember thinking "okay on Syria western people can be propagandised to think ISIS and Al Qaeda are "moderate rebels" but Nazis? You can't hide Nazis, how many WW2 films a year? Everyone will see" but I was totally wrong

Soviets literally occupied us before nazis showed up, that was part of their little cooperation deal molotov and ribbentrop signed 🤷

I wonder why it's been normalized and so widely accepted. No, wait, I don't. I wonder why you don't get it.
