Because, you know... Moscow is a fucking capital city

The Trans-Siberian Railway runs from Moscow to Korea and it is not needed for murder or slave trade, but transport.
And so you think that Syberia is just a plane? Bruh, Syberia is an area with very complex terrain. And it is too expensive to build a railway for every city. Another reason, why there is no railways in Syberia is a very low population. Most of syberian cities are on the south (and they are connected to the main railway). Most of the territories of Syberia are empty or rly low population. And you think they are uninhabbited because of the genocide or something? It is a too dumb logic. The local peoples have always been just nomads. There have always been few people here. And the Russian government has never carried out any genocide or oppression of these peoples. Russia bought raw materials from them profitably, and they received protection and their economy developed. Many peoples were given writing. Christianity was not imposed on them. All the priests who went there did so of their own free will.
If Russia take minorities for fight it doesnt mean that they are used like a cheap slaves. Every single nation in Russia have it is own republic. It is why Russia is a Russian Federation. Even jews have it own territory and government in Russia. A lot of people are learning their ancestor's culture and language in school. National republics have its own native language as an official for talk there. In fact, i am 50% uralic, and every minority i met were very pro-russian.
And what europeans did with locals in America?...
In Russia, since we conquered a first muslim territory, there was a free will to choose your religion.
Russian army in Ukraine is 50% volunteer (440 000 volunteers and 900 000 overall). Every nation fights against western values, that would destroy their identity.
Holodomor is one of the communist crimes. Fucking collectivisation. My great-grandmother was a mother of 4 children and her husband died a few years ago. And suddenly when collectivisation began, she became "kulak". This word is used to identify rich peasant. But in fact, she was very poor and worked all day to feed her kids. Her husband just had a good education and a well-paid work before his death. Later, she will marry again and have more kids, but almost all of them will die in Stalingrad.
But all holodomor and other crimes arent anti-european. They were used to scare citizens. There was no goal to kill ukranians. They were just one of the nations in soviet union.
I fucking hate soviet government.
