> Russians are oppressors and have to make up for centuries of oppression

Do you have a source for that?



http://library.maoism.ru/Lenin/Lenin-autonomisation.htm

Поэтому интернационализм со стороны угнетающей или так называемой «великой» нации (хотя великой только своими насилиями, великой только так, как велик держиморда) должен состоять не только в соблюдении формального равенства наций, но и в таком неравенстве, которое возмещало бы со стороны нации угнетающей, нации большой, то неравенство, которое складывается в жизни фактически.

Lenin


Not that I understand Russian all that well, but I don’t see ‘Rossiya’ or any of its declensions in that passage, therefore I don’t think that passage refers to Russia specifically, whatever it’s getting at.


Were you banned from Google Translate?

And it absolutely applies to the USA of 2020s

Therefore, internationalism on the part of the oppressor or the so-called "great" nation (although great only by its violence, great only in the way that the oppressor[1] is great) should consist not only in observing the formal equality of nations, but also in such an inequality that would make the oppressor, large nation compensate the inequality that develops in life in fact.

1. a correct meaning here would probably be "bigot"


This seems to be a remarkably creative interpretation.
