How do you feel about Pussy Riot and the Russian Federation's treatment of them?

How do you feel about The Plastic People of the Universe and the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic's treatment of them?

what does the russian federation have to do with socialism?

There seems to be a trend amongst socialists of lauding the Russian people as past vanguards of socialism.

eh, to be fair looking at lemmygrad or hexbear i could see how you'd get that impression. but in reality most socialists really hate the russian federation russia-cool and the 'critical support' you'll often see has less to do with socialism and more to do with being one of the major powers that stands up to the global hegemonic control of the u.s.

in reality most socialists really hate the russian federation.

They are dancing around wearing the skin of a better, dead, country. Every moment the Russian Federation figuratively draws breath is an insult to the people who died to build a better world for their descendants.
