i'm not affraid to here from different people such replies. for me it's OK. i know the truth and i have, as you mentioned, good example of my martyrs-compatriots who died (it's better to said were annihilated [destroyed]) by my another compatriots which were the hands of soviet idea.
such negative replies for me are just a signal that my views are the truth that is disliked by many people.

we here in Eastern Europe in general are speaking about postmodern society that is pluralistic. it means that for western people doesn't exist one truth, there are a lot of truths and for everybody they are different. two irreconcilable sentences can be truth!😲
We also look at our societies as being pluralistic.
"Everybody has his own truth" is a relativist slogan you can hear many times in discussions. No need to say I as a Universalist do not agree with this.
