Commies brought education, but not very much. They just made it obligatory. Anyway, it would develop without their help. Modernization of the culture you can see on sucking hrushchevkas. Atheism didn't work either, there are 2% now.

i always had a gay crush for nicholas II for some reason
he looked so soft and gentle
The gommies could only take over because the whole thing was a basket case. Dipshit inbred aristocratic generals had destroyed their country by getting involved in a stupid Muh Slav Brothers war after already fucking themselves over in East Asia. Reformers had chosen precisely the wrong time in Russian history to attempt limited land reform and parliamentary democracy. You had a militarised, radicalised urban population who finally decided they would rather try their luck with Lenin than stick with any of the shit they already had.

So commies didn't manage to do anything good? Shit.

Hydroelectric schemes and winning WWII
Notice how everyone had a beard and some type of class before Lenin and his friends took power?
>>57182359
>>57182166
Yes, they did some. But it doesn't worth that shit. Actually, a lot won't agree with me, there are lots of commie fans in Russia yet
pretty good
Same shit but hilariously incompetent
>>57182359
Also a whole lot less squating. Is it actually a commie thing?
I miss it.
>>57182593
Most likely tbqh
>>57182359
well, obviously, communism is about destroying class
>>57181886
This.
Based Lev "Kamenev" Rosenfeld, Hirsch "Grigori Zinoviev" Apfelbaum, Lev "Trotsky" Bronshtein, Adolph Ioffe and all the heroes who gave power to the working classes.

I wasn't talking about social classes tho
>>57182825
YOU FILTHY ANTI-SEMITE
>>57181428

REEEEEEE

Trotsky good boy dindu nuffin
>My next visit to Moscow took place after the fall of Yekaterinburg. Talking to Sverdlov I asked in passing, "Oh yes and where is the Tsar?" "It's all over," he answered. "He has been shot." "And where is his family?" "And the family with him." "All of them?" I asked, apparently with a touch of surprise. "All of them," replied Yakov Sverdlov. "What about it?" He was waiting to see my reaction. I made no reply. "And who made the decision?" I asked. "We decided it here. Ilyich [Lenin] believed that we shouldn't leave the Whites a live banner to rally around, especially under the present difficult circumstances."
Lenin and Stalin killed the dream
>>57181428
It had too much potential to grow and especially with France as its ally it needed to go down desu

>tfw your family was russian minor nobility but the bolsheviks took it all
FUCK YOU COMMIES
>>57185055
Not really, /pol/ is full of nationalists and hate qt traditionalism
Besides, Russia history up to the communist revolution was undeniably cool as shit.
>>57181428
A traditional, christian country so of course the bolsheviks (mostly jews) had to bring it down.
But in the end they lost.
The churches they destroyed have been rebuilt and they themselves have been thrown into the dustbin of history.
