Translated :

This is a harsh delusion, even the basic facts are not correct, not only in the social bloc everything was already miserable, but also the fact that the socialist states with their harsh repressions for the sake of the survival of the state (very much according to Marx, really awesome) have improved life is very debatable, and in Ukraine and Spain, anarchists have achieved much more concrete progress in terms of building socialism and collectivization than the USSR, not to mention the DPRC.

The Menshiviks and the Whites simply made an alliance out of the fact that they didn’t even have a chance against the Bolsheviks without this, by this logic I can also say about Molotov-Ribbentrop that it follows from this that Stalin and Hitler agreed ideologically.

Social dem does not necessarily mean the Nordic model, and absolutely so does socialism.

I’m not saying that everything in the Soviet Union was always completely bad, and moreover, I still root for the revolution since life was even worse in the empire, but from what I see (even though I’m not particularly well-read in this regard, thank you for the recommendation ) there is much more support than criticism here.

Edit: I do love how even though we're on opposite sides of this discussion we are both downvoted for speaking Russian. Lol. Lmao even.
