    I’m the only one of us capable of acknowledging that 7 is a smaller number than 20. If understanding elementary school level math makes me an ideologue, a tankie, whatever else, then so be it. Nothing you say changes those numbers.

      What’s more important, what you want to believe or what really happened?
      Read up on the subject please.

        Tell me, was “what really happened” 6-7 years or 20-30 years? Can you answer that one question?

        You’re the one rejecting the evidence in favor of what you want to believe.

          It was more than 10 years for most people, and up to 20 years or more.
          Which you would’ve known if you’d bothered to do the reading.

            Wrong. Your own source said 6-7 years, which you would know if you did the reading. Even then, and this may surprise you to learn, but 10 is also less than 20.

            20-30 years is completely and utterly unsupported. It’s a total ass pull. And you’re trying to claim I’m an ideologue because I’m sticking to the facts instead of this made up bullshit that’s contradicted by your own sources.

              So you haven’t bothered to do any more research, correct? Do you really care about the truth? Or do you only care about winning an arguement?

                Buddy, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. I’m not going to do your homework for you.

                And you can talk all you want about how I “don’t care about the truth,” no amount of posturing will change the objective fact that 7 is less than 20. I’m the only one here basing my beliefs in anything factual.

                  Lol you’re literally asking me to do your work for you.
                  No, if you’re interested, YOU can go and do the research, like I’ve been telling you for the last five comments.

                  And you can talk all you want about how I “don’t care about the truth,” no amount of posturing will change the objective fact that 7 is less than 20.

                  The truth is normal people waited 10 or more years, sometimes more than 20.
                  I mean you wouldn’t know, because you haven’t bothered to do any additional reading. I’ve already proven it to my own statisfaction, now you can do the same.

                    You’ve proven it to my satisfaction too! I’m using your own source, which literally says, word for word, that the wait time was 6-7 years! Nowhere have you presented any evidence it was remotely close to 20-30!

                    I’m not surprised that you’ve “proven it to your own satisfaction,” given that your standards of evidence are random Quora users and Russian state media you don’t even realize is Russian state media! And even they say you’re wrong! Literally the only standard you’re applying is, “What makes the USSR look bad” or “What lets me win this argument.”

                    I really don’t know what you’re getting out of this. You are not going to convince me that when it says, “the average wait time was 6-7 years” it actually meant 20-30. You’re not going to convince me that 6-7 is basically the same as 20-30. You’re not going to get me to do your homework for you. Your source says 6-7, not 20-30 so that’s what I’m going with. This is incredibly straightforward.

                    I legitimately can’t tell if you’re just trolling me or if you’re legitimately unable to understand this. Just find a schoolbus in the morning, and get on it. You need more help than I could ever provide.
