  • Is it? What do you mean by that?

    Kommun workers use Windows or iOS. University workers use mainly Windows or iOS, though computer labs usually have Linux PCs. Still, the unis usually have their email service managed via Outlook or Gmail services. We have our own data storage, though, e.g., KTH still buys OneDrive. Similarly, we have our own computing clusters, and here, luckily, I have never heard of any Swedish researcher using AWS or anything like that.

    Yes, the majority of the population. Everybody wanted to go to the USSR and the Eastern Bloc in general. That is why they built the Berlin Wall and heavily guarded all the borders with Western Europe. To stop all the migrants ;) (I prefer to trust people living at that time than the nostalgia.)

    I agree that it is worse in Russia now than it was in the post-Stalin Soviet era, though.



  • Yeah, the “secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe” are a tiny, tiny detail. The UK and France decided to declare war on Germany because it was attacking independent countries. The USSR decided to join Germany in the war efforts, as long as they could. They also made programs of ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration and mass murder parallel to the Nazi ones. (They themselves admitted they were basically the same thing, claiming for years that the Katyn massacre was done by the Germans and not the Soviets). The power in the Soviet Union was concentrated in the hands of a very few people at the highest ranks of the Communist Party. Any independent self-organization, including independent workers’ unions, was forbidden. Explain to me: What was so wonderful in all of that?
