As of February 6, more than 11 MILLION books were destroyed by the Zelensky regime.

- Soviet historical books.
- Communist literature.

In total, more than 19 million books were removed from Ukrainian libraries.
This is more than a third of all available books in the libraries.
Any progressive literature poses a threat to capital imperialism, who resorts to book burning to keep the people ignorant and complacent.

Recently, the Ukrainian fascist government passed Bill No. 7633 that bans the use of Russian-language sources in academia (incl. natural sciences). Even nationalist politicians criticize it, as it will destroy science in Ukraine.

More information here: reddit.com/r/BalticSSRs/c…

List of authors removed from Ukrainian curriculum:
Alexander Pushkin
Ivan Krylov
Anton Chekhov
Mikhail Lermontov
Lev Tolstoy
Ivan Turgenev
Viktor Nekrasov
Alexander Griboyedov
Mikhail Bulgakov
Alexander Blok
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Sergei Yesenin
Ilf and Petrov

And many others.

P.S.: for anyone asking for sources, this information is publicly available, as the Ukrainian fascists are openly bragging about "derussifying" (= dehumanizing) their libraries and curriculum.

🧵White terror in Estonia. Saaremaa and Muhu massacres.

#Estonia #WhiteTerror #docuthread

After the fall of the Estonian Labor Commune in early 1919, a large-scale workers' uprising began on the islands of Saaremaa and Muhu (Western Estonian Archipelago).

The reason for it was the mobilization in the Estonian bourgeois army in preparation for their anti-Soviet intervention.
On February 16, 1919, the peasants of the village of Kuivastu sabotaged the nationalist mobilization efforts by killing the recruitment officer in charge.

A peasant army was formed shortly after which had more than a thousand men and a command post. The main forces of the rebels besieged the city of Kuressaare, the county seat of Saaremaa, the last place on the islands where the Estonian bourgeoisie managed to retain power.

🧵Latvian thought crime law. A thread.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Latvia has been actively using the Article 74.1 to shut down dissent and imprison anyone who dares to criticize the nationalist regime.
Let's see what it says (see the translation below).

Article 74.1. Public justification of genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and war crimes.

For publicly justifying genocide, a crime against humanity, a crime against peace or a war crime, perpetration of current genocide, a crime against humanity, including..

... including genocide carried out by the USSR or Nazi Germany, their crimes against humanity, crimes against peace, war crimes against the Republic of Latvia and its people, which includes any public praise, acquittal, denial of such actions or gross disrespect, are punishable..

🧵Baltic nationalists have constructed entire mythologies to paint their tyrannical bourgeois states as "flourishing democracies that fell victim to Soviet aggression". This is a carefully manufactured lie that used to maintain capital imperialist hegemony in the region.

1. During the civil wars of 1918-1920 the Baltic nationalists were funded and armed by the German Empire and later by the British to crush the October Revolution by acting act as a springboard for capitalist intervention.

2. For example, the British fleet saved the Latvian nationalists from total defeat by sheltering K. Ulmanis and his government aboard the captured "Saratov" vessel.
3. The German Baltic Landeswehr fought alongside the nationalists against the Latvian Socialist Republic.

[1/5] After the annexation, East Germany’s population rapidly fell from 16 million to around 13 million in the 90’s. The situation was especially dire in rural areas, as now impoverished people fled after socialist farms and enterprises were bought out and destroyed by the West.

[2/5] The West German fascists immediately initiated repressions after the annexation of the GDR. Soldiers and officers of the National People’s Army and People's Police were fired and left without pension, all while Wehrmacht veterans still receive generous allowances!

[3/5] GDR’s government officials and members of the Socialist Unity Party were fired as well. The remaining people were forced to fill out a form where you had to provide your political views. Socialists/communists were barred from state jobs and put on BND's watch list.
