Should East Germany be returned to Russia?

[Marita]

Well, if Germans didn't want Russians enter Berlin in 1945 they should have not attacked us in 1941.
They were agressors, so they deserved it.

Of all the countries that you listed there, East Germany was the most legitimate possession of Russia. No one could argue Soviet occupation of East Germany. The same with some Japanese islands. So where is your argument? Because you don't like their form of government or because you are resentful because your own country was dominated is not an argument for East Germany.

The Soviet Union would probably have won WW2 on its own without D-Day. But in that context, Western Europe would also have been under Communist dictatorship instead of democracy, and I doubt the people of France, Italy etc. would have welcomed that.

East Germany has never historically been part of the Russian homeland. Yes Nazi Germany was one of the worst regimes in history but so was Stalin. Hitler was elected in 1933. But I wonder did the people who elected him really believe that he intended to invade the Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, France, Denmark, Finland, and Northern Italy? And that he would order the extermination of 9 million people in concentration-camps including 6 million Jews and 2 million Russians etc.?

Anyway, Russia has already turned part of East Germany into part of Russia - it's called Kaliningrad. Your already a vast country, and it would have been very unfair to punish those who weren't even alive in 1945 for the actions of their parents by incorporating all of East Germany into Russia.

of course i can't be neutral bof the subject, because i'm estonian. it'd be almost impossible to be absolutely neutral.


i personaly beleive, that political and ethnicalt borders should be the same. i really really wish, that one day that imperialist crap would be over! it was some 19th century madness, that everyone urged to be larger. today, as i see it, size doesen't matter o bad. well, it's quite important, but it isn't the most important factor.

another thing: no more what if's. i'm sorry for posting the first what if, but it was surely a mistake. while facts can be chekced, then what ifs are purely subjective.


ps, i think in 1000 years time, when earth(because of immigration) has only one race, only one language, maybe even only one country, who knows! people will be sad, that hitler didn't reach, what he wanted to. he wanted a pure nation. it sounds quite bad. especially at the moment, but what i think, is that every counrty needs it's own hitler. quick. and a successful one!
