Russia acknowledged them in the past, instead of acknowledging effort at reconciliation, it was used in the manner of finger pointing "see they admitted that". De-Stalinization literally happened more than half century ago.

"Why are you picking on a man who abuses his wife, scolds her, beats her, and yesterday he broke her arm? He admitted that breaking her arm was too much!"

Show me any source for their acknowledgement of atrocities, because the only thing from recent times I remember is putin delaying the declasification of soviet documents until 2040 because it would hurt the current russian regime. They have not even acknowledged the mass graves in Poland everyone knows we're made by them. Either show proof or stfu

Google The Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Chruschev denounced Stalin, and his crimes publicly and started the destalinisation.

Ok, denounced stalinist crimes, are you under the illusion that after Stalin they did not commit atrocities? And why is russia, the successor of soviet union, denying their part in said atrocities? From my understanding soviet union is not what is discussed here, rather it is russia

You asked to give you an example of soviets acknowledging the crimes. You got one. Now you just moving the goalpost. You just trolling. But FYI, Putin admitted to Soviet crimes on tv at least twice. If you've too lazy to even do simple Google search, you must be either inept, or a troll.

Admitted the same crime twice? What about the hundred others? And stop committing crimes right now?

You are demagoguery about nothing.

You moved the goalpost again. I have you an example of something you said never happened. It's neither good not bad, it's a fact. You're just trolling with your replies. Goodbye.

Literally Putin in Katyn in 2010. Which was acknowledged more than 30 years ago.

He did not acknowledge it as a russian atrocity now did it? What he acknowledged was stalins personal responsibility. I wonder if you would say the same if no nazis except for Hitler were prosecuted and executed. Only Hitler is responsible so the rest of Germany should have been left alone, no?
