I see that Come and See is trending again.
You shouldn’t glorify this movie (let alone watch it).
This gorefest has nothing to do with the Great Patriotic War or the Soviet Partisan movement.

Come and See is a terrible movie from a terrible director.
🧵I'll explain what I mean.

The basic premise is this: the nazis come to a village and brutally murder everyone there. That's it.
It’s pure scaremongering. It’s fixated on the massacre and the tortured boy just for the sake of it.
The Soviet people are simply reduced to lambs that go to the slaughter.

🧵Today is the anniversary of the June Revolution and Restoration of Socialism in the Baltics.
As usual, the fascist scum spread lies by pretending to be "victims" of imaginary "Soviet occupation".
The Baltic working class played an instrumental role in the overthrow of fascism.

Before the 1940 Revolutions, the Baltics were ruled by fascist tyrannies, headed by Antanas Smetona (Lithuania), Kārlis Ulmanis (Latvia) and Konstantin Päts (Estonia), respectively. All three came to power after a fascist coup, inspired by Mussolini's and Hitler's regimes.

🧵White terror in Estonia. Saaremaa and Muhu massacres.

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.

As of February 6, more than 11 MILLION books were destroyed by the Zelensky regime.
Destroyed books include:
- Anything written in Russian, even classical authors such as Tolstoy, Pushkin etc.
- Books by Soviet Ukrainian authors.
- 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.

🧵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..

🧵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.

[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!
