Bruh, they literally picked people from bread lines and threw them into the gulag.

[citation needed]
Do you even think critically about the cold war propaganda we were fed? Why would you pick people out of bread lines and put them into gulags to feed them there? That would mean you’d have to build more gulags and get people to staff them. Why would you do that unless you’re a cartoon villain? It makes no sense.

Not to mention the majority of clergy for just being christian clergy.

I have no great love for clergy, especially when they side with tsars against a worker revolution.
