you were created to oppose stalin's state.

russians were put into the gulag for no reason, as slaves, by stalin.

some of those russians decided to start an organization to oppose stalin's state.

their goal was to oppose brutal oppressive control by others...

today, how does this square? do you oppose today's russian government or are you a part of it?

if you feel oppressed by putin, your tradition would mandate that you fight him

if you feel putin is an oppressor that you have joined, you are going against your mandate
