I think most people here are aware of the mass genocide and countless atrocities commited by the nazi regime. I just wanted to shine the light on an atrocity (violated human rights, and the original 1864 geneva convention) commited by the soviet union.

Lots of Wermacht soldiers did horrible things, and should have gone to trial for them. Lots of other Wermacht soldiers were forced and did not want the role. Maybe they even surrendered at the first chance they got, and this is what happened to them, died in labour camps.
The vast majority of POW captures were in the final year of the war, when it was teenagers and middle aged people who were quickly trained and sent to the front lines, in many places.
Agreed fuck Nazis.
But also fuck those who mistreat their POWs.
USSR had a chance to take the high road and instead commited pseudo-genocide in Ukraine and killed millions of their own citizens in gulag.
Grandmaster just means you have reached a certain elo and have completed certain requirements (win a number of games, against certain opponents etc), and won a certain number of competitions. There are around 2000 current grandmasters.
World champion is much much more selective, meaning literally winning the world championship.
Don’t get me wrong, grandmaster is incredibly prestigious, but is much more “common” than world champion.
(International Master is the rank below grandmaster).
How realiable is this news website? It seems dodgy to me.
Ah that is not the top comment on my instance. Thanks.
elorankings are the best imo
Damn between this and Maignan’s talk
Did a russian troll farm get shut down or something (/s)
So it your mind there’s no middle ground between letting every Nazi go off scot free and murdering a third of your prisoners of war indiscriminately?
They deserved to go on trial. Not be indiscriminately worked to death.
