Why do Russians have such a weird view on their own history.
They like the Tsarist, the Soviets and also modern Russia.
This is despite all of these different incarnations of Russia being in conflict with each other.

The Tsarist era is fundamentally opposed to both communism and modern Russian democracy/oligarchy.
The Soviets era is fundamentally opposed to both monarchy and capitalism.
The modern Russia is fundamentally opposed to monarchy and communism yet it larps both.
Is it just a cheap way bolster nationalism and get the low iq vatniks to suck off Putin?

How about the Russian civil war? How is that seen in Russia?
Since that is essentially the good martyr Tsar Nicholas II against the hero of the people Lenin.
Which one is the side supported by the current Russian regime? What were you taught at school?
Or is it just both good. Will you get flak for being a hardcore fan of Kornilov or Pyotr Wrangel?
How about being a hardcore fan of Budyonny or Tukhachevski.
You can't really be a fan of both sides.

The only domestic "bad guys" in Russia seem to the ROA and the general spirit of the 90s.
But even then with the former this seems to be slowly changing.

To me as a Finn its
>The Tsar good
>The Soviets very bad
>Modern Russia bad
Simple as.

Can any Russia try and explain this to me?
I refuse to believe its just "its all Russia so its all good"
That is retarded.

Pretty sure this is the case. I recommend you watch Noj Rants' video on why Russians support Putin.

Anyway, USSR was the peak of Russia despite it's anti-Russian and pro-minority politics (the affirmative action empire) where they defeated the Germans who wanted to enslave them and then became a superpower post-war. I don't think many Russians would like what occurred in the 1920-30's but that period is overshadowed by the Great Patriotic War.

I don't think it would be a contradiction to support the White Russians during the civil war and Stalin's dictatorship. Most of the criticism goes to Lenin and especially Trotsky. There is a popular Russian movie about Trotsky and he is basically portrayed as a subversive Jew doing Jew stuff.

I mean for example the opinion of the German state is
>The empire somewhat bad
>Weimar good
>The Nazis very bad
>The DDR bad
>West Germany good
>Modern Germany good

A german monarchist would think
>The empire good
>The nazis bad
>The DDR very bad
>West Germany bad/neutral
>Modern Germany bad/neutral
Or something similar
Notice the ideological consistency

The Russian state thinks
>The Tsar good
>The Soviets good
>The 90s bad
>Modern Russia good

Notice how the first two are in conflict with each other and modern Russia and the 90s are more or less the same with just the economy being improved.
There is no ideological consistency.
This is the most common opinion you hear from Russians and yes I know there are exceptions.
>>
>>535957902
>some AfD view DDR as a positive
Yes, an ethnically homogenous society with many, many flaws thanks to communism and the classic German obedience issue (Stasi).
People are keen to embellish the good to offset the bad, and then forget the bad without revising the offset.
Same phenomenon in Russia. They remember the cosmonauts and the space programme, they remember the parades, they remember the good.
Only the people old enough to have been there before the fall and those who endured the 90s will remember the bad, because it was so atrocious that it's difficult to forget.

It's not so much that you couldn't trust anybody.
It's that you could explicitly trust in the negative outcomes, because those were virtually guaranteed.
That's not a Russian skill issue. We have that exact same problem with our own societies right now, and it's obvious thanks to covid but we already had it long before then.

Doesn't have to be any idelogical consistency for them, I guess. What happened in the past happened. I wish we could have a similar outlook, so Germany goes like this:
German Empire Good
Weimar Republic Bad
Nazi Germany Good
DDR Good
BDR Bad
Because it's all anti-liberalism consistency
For me that's the most important thing and it would help them remove Holocaust guilt

I don't really get the hate towards Trotsky he was essentially ideologically identical to Stalin except he believed in world revolution where as Stalin believed socialism should be built in the union first and then exported.
Anti Trotskyism is just Stalin being Schizo and modern tankies hating Trotsky as their mortal enemy proves how braindead they are.

You cannot at the same time think the Nazis are good and that the DDR are good.
They are quite literally completely opposed to each other on a fundamental level.
The Nazis sent commies to the camps and the DDR built an anti-faschist wall and worshipped the Soviet "heroes" who "liberated" them.
Only a profoundly ignorant person would put aside these differences because they hate liberalism so much.
>>
>>535956465
>Why do Russians have such a weird view on their own history.
Because they are slaves.
They obey the ones who are in power without question, and idolize their leaders, past and present, because they told the peasants what to do.
>>
>>535958353
Trotsky was the leading the war effort and implemented 'war communism' which was impopulär by the population and fellow Bolsheviks. That's one reason. Russians are not idelogical present in that debate. They just think he was the bad guy.

They are not wrong about that.
>>
>>535958064
That's got a very straightforward reason.
German monarchists want to reduce bureaucracy and Jewish manipulation, which can be achieved by having 1 based ruler. The risk is that you might get a dysfunctional retard next and all goes to shit.
Democracists want people to have power, but about 90% of the population is a collectivist mass devoid of self-authority and incapable of individual thought. Impossible. It inevitably leads to Judaism and will rape the world, as we see already happening.
But Russians? Their culture is despondent. Everything is shit right now, and right now always was shit even decades ago. Serfdom followed by the broken promises commies gave them have buckbroken the Russian spirit and they explicitly trust in the negative.
Changing that can take 25-50 years and the change started about 25-30 years ago.
Until they've been fixed, they'll look at the deteriorating and sometimes readily derelict commie block housing and see life is shit today, and then see the Soviet parades and pretty old movies with cute women in them, and think "yeah, the USSR was good compared to now".
It's depression-fueled nostalgia.

It's like shooting yourself in the leg, creating a opening for your enemies to exploit by shitting in your heads by grandiose black myths, throwing accusations and demanding payback for imaginary sufferings, what you as a recipient of all this will be unable to refute because your own policy of this era is entirely black. like they did in the 90s, trying hard to lable entire soviet era as pure hell.

Trotsky was to the left of Stalin. Trotsky opposed the NEP from the start, supported greater autonomy for the Soviets and internal party debate, criticized the nomeklatura for usurping the authority of the working class. Stalin was a centrist who consistently backed the interests of the party bureaucracy. It's debatable to what extent either man was motivated by sincere ideological conviction vs. opportunism but Trotsky and Stalin positioned themselves and were perceived as representing the left and center of the party respectively.

>>535958353
>I don't really get the hate towards Trotsky he was essentially ideologically identical to Stalin
He was a disciple of Lenin and as much of a rat as him. He preached one thing while doing another. He used revolutionary terror, signed off on the massacre of the Romanov children, war communism, supported the proto-NKVD. And then when many of these things either happened to him or came back to bite him in the ass he tried to portray himself as more of a man of the people when he was no different to Stalin in that regard. Also world revolution was extremely retarded.
