Open this for my thoughts on the Soviet Union

Soviet Russia was an experiment for living in a society without billionaires

Here is a 3-person discussion about the breakup.

Woe from illusions, the Soviet Breakup

WITHOUT BILLIONAIRES, OH MY GOD! The whole of the world-ownership-elite must move to CRUSH this experiment at all costs.

During the Tsars, western billionaires could swindle their way into ownership of every desired resource. I think I remember the Tsar’s industrialization was 80% foreign investment. (I could find that exact figure somewhere). But now there are not even any billionaires. This is of existential seriousness. (Billionaire is my shorthand for the elite of the period.)

I wanted to understand this experiment and to understand these people. I slowly moved into translating 6 books and many articles to find out. Mostly I wanted to know the why of the collapse in 1991. These books together are 1,680 pages, 497,000 English words. Over half a million words with the articles. (Of course, at first I hesitated with this huge work, and as I did the 1st one, I determined it wasn't so bad, I'll move to the next.) I have done nothing with this work for several years.

NONE OF THESE SOVIET BOOKS ARE ON THIS SITE. Most of the books published here are from 1000 AD to 1900 AD. Therefore, there are no occasions to say library4conciliation is Soviet propaganda. It is only to "get to know" the Russian ethnos. Yes, the drive for this site is Peace on Earth.

I don’t know if I will put the Soviet history on this site? It would be a very big work, reading through all this history again. I do not just “Dump Files” onto this site. But I read through and edit every last word, still finding typos, and spacing and titles.

Much has been written about the Soviet Union in the West. Yet those same billionaires have paid for all this research, or at least rewarded those who agree with them and punished and slandered those that wrote the opposite. In such an atmosphere, both sides are distortions and exaggerations, trying to counter the other one-sided narrative. Whether some of it is valuable research or all of it is biased; I can notice the obvious blind spots in even the most honored of western writers.

So I got a hold of the course material for the Moscow State University in History and Political Science for the Junior and Senior level of undergraduate study. It is an overview, so it goes fast and broad, and not so deep into any one argument. But all the archives are laid bare. In fact, there is not that much commentary or slant put on it. Just facts are presented and you make your on interpretations.

The Soviet Union no longer exists. So my belief is that nothing is classified or censored. And all Soviet archives have been opened. If anything, the Soviets were strict for recording everything in full detail. They had no concern of a collapse, that they should disguise their motives in their documents. Also, the present Russian Federation has no reason to distort any Soviet history. They want to learn from these facts.

The only thing they want to ensure is an accurate history of the Patriotic War.

Some things seem very obvious, (maybe even to any 10th grader).

The most maligned Soviet or Russian leaders, Stalin and now Putin, have done, and are doing the most damage to western billionaires schemes. And they both have done the most service to the Russian people.

The most honored (by the west) Soviet leaders, Khrushchev, Gorbachev and Yeltsin, are the most traitorous Soviets, and have done the most damage to the Russian people.

So read western history with caution. It is mostly a fabricated narrative with no resemblance to any Russian truth. As with all western narratives, They are not dumb, but it is aimed at the uninformed and unintelligent western citizen, and written on their level.
