Right, no etnic cleansing, no mass starvation of etnic non-russian regions. No forced deportations to the Syberia.
No one of mentioned high ranks could freely use native language.
You probably know how they called USSR the prison of nations.

The best propaganda relies on some degree of truth before adding the imagery. But I am willing to bet that most commenters here have a fuzzy mental image of some vaguely menacing tyrant in a fur hat making people starve just for kicks. Other than Holodomor - can you name another mass starvation of an ethnic non-Russian region?
Asharshylyk. And it's not the only one I can name.
Maybe western propaganda is good in creating labels, but russians are good in killing is own people. Stalin killed more people in USSR than Hitler. Even now in their army ethnic minorities have disproportionally high KIA and WIA rates.
That was literal iron fence with multiple rows guarded by army who killed anyone who tried to cross.

One genocide is not enough?

That is what was actually happening.
No, not for russians.
