So because British imperialism was bad, mass death in the Soviet Union was okay?
It seems like you're learning the wrong lessons from history...
It’s that same style whataboutism that Trumpers love to do: “what about Biden?” It’s fucking annoying and I hate Joe Biden. When you’re only argument is pointing to what someone else did, you don’t really have an argument.
Primus~ "You shot my wife! You bastard"
Secundus~ "But she murdered an entire city block, she's a monster!"
Primus~ "Whataboutism! You are just like a Trumper."
Secundus~ "You got me, I apologize."
Yes, it is forgotten in the history books nowadays, but the real ones remember: The soviets mass-murdered their own people in order to punish Churchill.
If that's what you read then your reading comprehency is just wow.
If that's not what you were suggesting, then how was it relevant to this thread?
