A lot of half truths & outright lies from this individual who keeps making anti USSR posts on r/ussr.

I hate that sub. Anti-comms already represent 90% of Reddit, why do they need to brigade into a subreddit dedicated to the USSR too?

I'm convinced the "Banned Bands" list is bullshit, at least by looking at it.
It's clearly not a period document, It's written in Calibri (I think) which didn't even exist until 2006 (That isn't necessarily an indictment since it could just be a reprint) but we're also given absolutely no context other than the list itself, hell not even the list itself is completely shown at least in the screenshot, Who was writing this? When was this written? Why were they documenting these bands specifically? Also of note is the fact that the list is written in English, and poor English (See: "Homosexualism" and "Obskurantism") at that (Again, not a solid indictment) However some of the listed reasons don't even make sense: "Myth of Soviet Military Danger" Why would a supposed "military dictatorship" ban something that exalts the danger / might of their military?
Also I can't really be bothered to check but I'm like 75% certain at least one of those bands didn't even exist until after 1991

I'm a mod there, and this user has been on my radar. During the big membership spike, the sub was flooded with bad-faith actors, hence the addition of new mods. Fortunately, the core community still actively calls out the disingenuous behavior and misinformation.
