    Wait, I think I got it. You may have heard claims that USSR had a policy of “Russification”, especially towards Baltics and Ukraine (coincidentally, the countries that whine about this imagined slight the most). That’s probably it!

      Still, ethnic supremacy isnt the same as ethnonationalism. The Russian Empire oppressed ethnic minorities, but wasnt ethnonationalist, it didnt claim that ethnic minorities were a different nation from the russian one and thus had to be expelled, like zionists and nazis do. Nevertheless, this is pure cope, because there was no “russification” in the USSR. And the Baltic States, the ones who whine about it the most, are literally the ones with less evidence to claim otherwise. Like literally, the Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian SSRs were for its entire existence (1940-1990) ruled by ethnic lithuanians, latvians and estonians. The “stalinist genocide” they supposedly suffered under Stalin? It was implemented by local communists who werent ethnic russians. No russian ever ruled them, unlike other republics like Moldova or Kazakhstan. So they have 0 arguments there.
