A guy I know, real nice guy but super liberal, was telling me how his Cuban grandfather suffered under Castro. Sure enough, when he got into more details, it turns out his grandfather was a wealthy landlord whose farmland got collectivized and he only had to go to jail after he got very vocal about trying to get people to oppose the revolution (in which he was very much the minority BTW, his own friend turned him in)
Admittedly I don't remember much! But only that I remember coming to the conclusion that he was talking about the Winter War, especially as he kept referring to his grandfather as a proud defender of homeland and the Soviets as barbarian invaders. I clocked out halfway through.

Reminds me of when a Finn told me about how the Soviets killed his grandad...and I was like...yeah? 😏 how come? 🥺🥺🥺
What did the Finn say?
