Despite claiming to be a #Christian nation, #Russia has repressed #Christianity when it doesn’t serve the state. Under the #USSR – and especially under #Stalin – churches were demolished, priests executed, and believers sent to the #Gulag. Today, this same persecution continues.

Today in Labor History March 9, 1879: Anarchist militant and IWW organizer, Carlo Tresca, was born. Tresca was an outspoken opponent of fascism in Germany and Italy, and of Soviet Communism. He was one of the main organizers of the Patterson Silk Strike. He was assassinated in 1943 by an unknown assailant, presumably a fascist or the Mafia. Some believe the Soviets killed him in retaliation for his criticism of Stalin. The most recent research suggests it was the Bonanno crime family, in response to his criticism of the mafia and Mussolini.
Today in Labor History March 5, 1940: Six high-ranking members of the Soviet politburo, including Joseph Stalin, signed an order for the execution of 25,700 Polish intelligentsia, cops and military officers. 14,700 of them were prisoners of war. This extrajudicial mass execution was known as the Katyn massacre. Afterwards, the Soviets tried to cover their tracks by blaming the Nazis for the massacre. They continued to deny responsibility until 1990, when the government finally acknowledged and condemned the killings and cover-up.
I've noticed a lot of misinformation and oversimplification of the lead up to and reasoning behind the molotov ribbentrop pact. I'd suggest you listen to this or even more to get a thorough explanation of the entire picture and remember that it was the #USSR that saved the world and ended #nazi germany.

"Essee|Autoritaariset johtajat uhkaavat taas jakaa maailman keskenään, kuten 1930-luvulla. Euroopan on astuttava puolustamaan demokratian arvoja, kirjoittaa entinen ulkoministeri Erkki Tuomioja."
"Sekä Hitler että Trump harjoittelivat väkivaltaista valtaannousua, edellinen vuonna 1923 ja jälkimmäinen vuonna 2021. Trump oli jo päässyt ensimmäisen kerran valtaan perustuslain puitteissa."

Today in Labor History January 4, 1883: Radical writer and publisher Max Eastman was born. In the 1910s, he edited “The Masses,” one of America's leading socialist periodicals. Contributors included Sherwood Anderson, Amy Lowell, Mabel Dodge Luhan, John Reed, Carl Sandburg and Upton Sinclair. During this period, he advocated for free love and birth control. In 1917, he co-founded “The Liberator” with his sister Crystal Eastman. In that periodical, he published Hellen Keller, John Dos Passos, Hemingway and Cummings. The U.S. government indicted him twice under the Sedition Act. Both times his lawyers got him acquitted. In 1917, he raised money for John Reed, who was in Russia, reporting on the Bolshevik Revolution. He published Reed's articles from Russia, later collected as “Ten Days That Shook the World.” In the early 1920s, Eastman lived in the Soviet Union. He witnessed Stalin’s Great Purge and became highly critical of Stalinism, and then of communism and socialism in general. He moved back to the U.S. and became a staunch anti-communist and an advocate of free market capitalism.
