Multiculturalism in the Early Soviet Union

Yeah they portrayed themselves as multicultural. I suggest you see the Soviet film Circus (1936). It depicts Americans as racist and lynchers and the Soviets as multicultural and just.

Thanks, that's a really cool example.

You're welcome. There's literally a scene where the different cultures sing a lullaby in their traditional languages and empashize their cooperation.

JUST

It was:"Blah-blah-blah, fucking russian chauvinism. Lets take all russian money and send them to minorities" Russian people gave most of taxes, lived in poorest shitholes for "multiculturalism". I hope some day we will come alltogether to the Red Square, take mummy of fucking bald faggot and feed it to pigs.

It was mostly done for propaganda purposes, just like everbody else does it all the time.

Soviet Unions was just a enormous Russian empire based on leftist ideology. To be honest, even if I am not a leftist, I admit Soviet Union had some amazing aesthethics.

Yes. A concentrated effort was made to lessen Russian influence, promote natives in places of power, introduce modern writing systems to cultures that lacked them, study ethnology in detail and preserve it, etc.

OTOH Russian colonialism in Siberia and Central Asia was never as cruel or racist as Western colonialism. Even though some minorities were persecuted, most contributed to the state, and the elites were rather well integrated. By 1900s, one of the most powerful princely houses were Yusupovs, descended directly from the Muslim Tatar Khans of the Nogai Horde - prince Felix Yusupov, who killed Rasputin was one of them.
