Illegal immigrants? Like the white people who colonized the Americas? Or is colonialism OK (as long as it aligns with your “values”)?

A tsar? What? I’m not even defending the USSR, but there were great cultural achievements coming out of Russia and the larger USSR, both critical and propaganda, in literature and film.

I almost never comment but this was a really good post. I wouldn’t say it’s odd at all! Thank you for writing it!
