youre ruining the fair play here.
we have been targeted SPECIFICALLY with this.
i dont see mottos saying "holocaust was cool" or "go holocaust!" on anyones mottos nor glorifying them whatsoever.
were focusing on ROLEPLAY.
so how can you find this acceptable in fair play.
you said no swastikas. so we removed them
you said no pictures of hitler, so we removed them.
you said no talking on forums or RMB's on ideology and beliefs. so we didnt.
now youre pretty much glorifying communism and practically crippling our roleplay environment.
i guess ethnic starving of over 100 million people and gulags arent all that bad.....really

The question we ask is whether a mini-Soviet Union nation appears to celebrate violence against RL people. And the answer is probably no: assuming no specific references to the contrary, most people wouldn't make that association, because the Soviet Union is widely known for much more than butchery.

Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but that's the perception. And we care about the perception.
It is certainly possible to create Soviet nations, or any other kind of nation, that appears to endorse specific acts of violence, too, and that's not acceptable for the same reason.
