The soviet union doesn’t even exist anymore for 30 years

I think this adds an unecessary weakness to your point. as it would automatically create resistence to the point you made… it’s easy to think : if we forget history we are doomed to repeat it etc… Sometimes building bridges is hard and one wrong word could lead to disaster, I still remember the day that I pronounced the word Krondstadt in front of a trotskist. So much regret.
