Churchill was a shameless genocidal racist. While he was saying that, he was exporting grain to feed his armies. I'm glad to see that you view the two - Churchill and Stalin - as equally evil.

> Churchill was a shameless genocidal racist. Same as Modi.

What is "decolonization"? Tell us more.

Also I said discrimination against non white Russians. Actually I literally talked about this with Russian citizen who doesn't look fully Russian the other week, she was called черножопая a couple years ago interviewing for a job and for that reason didn't get it (this is not america so good luck complaining about it). So go ask your fellow yakuts, great you know multiple so you have a sample size more than 1, about racial unfairness they encountered living in the west of Russia? and come back here to tell us.

> Also by chance, I knew Russians who lived in Yakutia in 1990s, and they did tell me stories of discrimination from the locals.

I guess you should learn what Russians did there way before 1990s.

Keep pushing your agenda I am amused)

I've read both version of the Holodomor or whatever it's called. I put it down to communist incompetence, Mao was no different than Stalin in this regard. As for the famines in India, the war criminal Churchill deliberately routed grains to feed his armies during world war 2. Prior to that, it was British policy to trigger famines, not incompetence. During the Irish famine, again under British rule, the latter were e…

The USSR was also exporting grains as their own people were starving. Churchill said that the Indian famines were the fault of Indians for "breeding like rabbits" and Stalin said that the Holodomor was the fault of Ukrainians for being "kulak saboteurs". The same dismissive and inhumane attitude shines through. They knew what was happening, they knew that they had the means to stop it, and they chose not to use them.

The British were using famine long before the genocidal Churchill showed up.
