    Interesting long thread: Thankfully rather pessimistic about Russia's chances.

    Wouldn't a lot of people do anything to save their own lives? And/or their family's lives?

    I don't blame Jews for cooperating with the Nazis to save their own lives. The one biggest regret that I have is that Stalin did not ask Hitler to hand over all of the Polish Jews to him en masse. That, along with a subsequent mass deportation of them to Siberia and/or Central Asia, would have...

    During the Holodomor? I don't think so, but maybe there's something that I don't know. You can try enlightening me. Were most Jews in the Baltics, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary Soviet administrators? I doubt it. Though maybe Jewish support for the Reds there was more pronounced...

    But AFAIK, Ukrainians had plenty of experience with Jewish commissars in the 1930s, whom they often had to report their complaints while they were starving during the Holodomor.

    Was the fear of Judeo-Bolshevism less severe in the Balkans due to that region's small Jewish percentage? And I find it quite interesting that Ukraine was very Jewish in a relative sense (5% using 1939 data, more with the annexed territories in 1939-1940, 2% using 1959 data) and experienced...

    But Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Russia, and Georgia don't appear to have this problem.

    Denmark also has problems but their politicians are more anti-immigration. Even the leftists. And it also has a far-right hothead named Rasmus Paludan who burns Korans in Muslim neighborhoods (always with heavy personal security, obviously) and wants to deport all Danish Muslims if he will ever...

    Eastern Europe is, unsurprisingly, more hostile towards Muslims than Western Europe is:

    Yeah, reasonable enough. BTW, off-topic, but it looks like Ukraine is one of the most philo-Semitic countries in Eastern Europe, especially outside of the Balkans: Why do Armenians, Poles, Czechs, and Romanians hate Jews so much?

    TBF, Poland gained a lot of territory at Germany's expense after WWII, which counts for something. And in human terms Germany was (appropriately) more demographically devastated as a result of WWII than Poland was. Good analysis. Poland also made a huge chad move this year in admitting millions...

    Do you think that Poland's recent demands for WWII reparations from Germany are in part due to Poland seeking to achieve compensation for Tusk's bad asset sales to German businessmen and oligarchs?

    I'm not sure if the money would stay in Poland if it was given to oligarchs since they could simply deposit a lot of it in Swiss bank accounts, etc.

    If the country in question is a swinish kleptocracy (in Anatoly Karlin's words), then sure.
