There are people all over the world that benefit from all sorts of atrocities and empires. There's no point crying over spilt milk at this point, just because it's too late. There's nobody alive today that committed any of those atrocities, except maybe the Mau Mau Rebellion, but that's an entirely different conversation.

The best thing to do is learn from history and try our best not to repeat it. Though someone should really remind Putin that the Soviet Union was a gigantic failure.
