Hello, could I request a USSR flag for a flair please? Thanks, I'd think it would be good idea considering the amount of Soviet Grandmasters there were.

I mean, there's an Olympic flag, so why not a USSR one?

That's unlikely to happen (for any flags)

Why not? sad.png

It'll take like only a few minutes to do

Primarily due to the fact members already can show flags by setting their location.

Do you even know what the USSR was?

What next? The flag of Nazi Germany?

And how did the USSR offend you?

Comparison of USSR (Russia) and Nazi Germany is an insult to me personally. Please apologize or I will close the thread and report the insult.

Learn history then. Learn how many millions of people Stalin murdered.

You can start by looking at things like "the Purge", "Holodomor", and continue by looking up "Soviet war crimes", if you have the stomach for it.

Yes, there were many mistakes, but the right conclusions were made. This is the history of my country and I know it! You are avoiding the answer - a comparison with Nazi Germany is beyond the bounds of decency

You are calling mass murder as "mistakes", that is beyond the bounds of decency.

Actually, Nazi Germany and the USSR were allies at the beginning of the second world war, they attacked Poland together, that was when Stalin murdered tens of thousands of Polish officers in the Katyn forest.

Knowing your history is great, but there are things you can't really be proud of.

We protected Poland from destruction and, in general, the whole world from the brown plague.
