  • Ah yes, the same 20mln people who looted the country to shit afterwards, killed an uncountable amount of Poles. Good thing that you mention me “equating bad pootin with gud USSR which totally wasn’t a shithole”. Last I checked, the invasion happened in 39’ when Russia literally allied with the Nazis to partition Poland. Last I checked, Katyn happened in 1940 in the “totally not a shithole” USSR. But maybe that’s history revisionism and the soviets were the best people around, totally not an invading nation that killed, raped and looted.

    First of all, anecdotal evidence. Also survivorship bias. One - the type of person that goes to study abroad is usually wealthy, well off. Two, your family is collateral so you are guaranteed to return. Saying negative shut about the regime can get you in trouble so they’ll sing praises of it - just like in Russia.

    Second, the USSR thing is complete dogshit and you can see why now in Ukraine. People hated the russians. Speaking russian in western Ukraine after it disolved could get you threatened or punched in the face. Same thing with the Baltics. Same thing with Poland.

    Blame whoever you want. In reality they teach you not to be a hero. Security is there for that. They are the people responsible. If they ask you to do something, do it. If they don’t, then don’t try anything that may make the situation worse.

    Product is replaceable and insured. Your life, or the life of anyone else there isn’t. The fact is that it most likely impacted other people working there since “manager got punched in the face, I don’t feel safe here anymore” is a reasonable reaction.

    He probably shouldn’t have gotten fired for it, but still - OP isn’t entirely blameless.
