Putin is turning Russia back into USSR

What other condemnation do you need, for crying out loud? Maybe they should apologize for fighting Germany, too?

What do modern Russians have to do with this? Even Mr. Putin was born after WWII. This is history. This has been acknowledged, now let's stop dishonoring it and pestering today's Russians over it.

I don't care about the "special nature". The US can say lots of things; I see 27,000,000 dead Soviet citizens in World War II. And I think they're rolling over in their mass graves from these kinds of gestures. I understand the Estonians had it hard; but that doesn't excuse their contribution to the Nazi war plan. Again, "tragedy of small nations" is my explanation, and I sympathise with this. But one atrocity doesn't automatically cancel out another. You can join the Waffen SS with your "special nature", and you're still in the Waffen SS to me.
