As someone who was born in USSR i find it absofuckinglutely hilarious.
Especially this one:



Stalin's Response to a Journalist's Request to Allow Sodomy in the USSR
From a letter to Stalin in the spring of 1934 from the Scotsman Harry White (1907-1960), a journalist for the Moscow Daily News, after his Russian partner was arrested in Moscow under the article "Sodomy":
“To Comrade Stalin. The content of my appeal is briefly as follows: the author of this letter, a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, asks for a theoretical justification for the decision of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR of March 7 on criminal liability for sodomy; the author of the letter, who seeks to approach this issue from a Marxist point of view, believes that the decree is in contradiction both with the facts of reality itself and with the principles of Marxism-Leninism.
Being personally interested in this issue - since I myself am a homosexual - I addressed this question to a number of comrades from the OGPK and the People's Commissariat of Justice, to psychiatrists and to Comrade Borodin, the executive editor of the newspaper in which I work. All that I have achieved is a series of conflicting opinions, which show that among these comrades there is no clear theoretical understanding of what could serve as the basis for the adoption of this law. "

White did not receive an answer to his letter and was soon forced to leave the country. Despite the attempts made, he was no longer able to return to Russia. On the letter there was a litter by Stalin's hand “To the archive. Idiot and Degenerate "The main line of defense was built by White around the opposition of capitalism, in which he equated the position of homosexuals with the position of women, "colored races", "national minorities ”and“ other groups that are oppressed for one reason or another ”, and the communist regime, allegedly alien to any form of exploitation.
