      I started actively supporting Ukraine in April 2022 on my Twitter account. 🇪🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦🇫🇮🇸🇪🇮🇱🇬🇪☑️

      I assume that the flags are the active support that she is talking about.

      It’s an interesting idea, but I think it’s not going far enough. What if Russia doesn’t exist at all?

    I’ve said it many times, communism killed them all and then started lying about its population.

    There were barely any people left in the USSR by the end of communism, they only existed on paper.

    I love these people who skim through the work of actual scholars to find evidence for their own weird ideas and obsessions all while ignoring the data and conclusions of those actual scholars. Obviously, Simon Kordonsky does not say “Russia only has 60 million people in it,” and there’s no way the poster doesn’t know this after reading his books and/or listening to his interviews and lectures. She just doesn’t care.

    This is just another really long way to justify nuking Russia “See not even that many people would die!”

      Hiding famine and repression victims of course. Go and see the wikipedia victim counts for Mao period, you will see completely wild differences in estimated victims numbers like 500% or so. It was really caused by those people never existing because of botched censuses in 30’s and 40’s plus albo because black book-like statistical methodology used by western propaganda, but that explanation is unaceptable to sinophobes so i guess they continued to count next neverborn generations since the 40’s and voila.

    Nah this is regular garden-variety Scandinavian/Eastern European theory.

    There’s been a report recently that the world’s population is actually massively undercounted btw, especially in rural areas. Not sure if there was any merit to it.
