u know ppl (justifiably) shittalk stalin for over-emphasizing heavy industry but if it wasn’t for those five-year plans the nazis would probably own europe so like— a lot of ppl and a lot of jews owe stalin a debt

(remember that time stalin banned jewish religious education and expression? remember the doctor’s plot? remember that time stalin institutionalized antisemitism as antizionism “zionology”?)

lmao nice sources bro the doctors plot was a bunch of bullshit and the jewish autonomous oblast was about as antisemitic as stalin got (ie not at all)

and u know what even if all that shit was true my point (which was more about Industrialization than anti-semitism) still stands
