Would you agree with the following statement:

"Bolshevism cannot escape responsibility for waging genocide against non-Russian citizens of the USSR, for forcibly resettling in the country's most sparsely populated regions Germans, Poles, Tatars, Chechens, Ingush, Karachayevs, Koreans, Balkars, Kalmyks, Turko-Meskhetins, Armenians, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Gaguzy.

Bolshevism cannot escape responsibility for organizing the hounding of scholars and writers, of those active in film, theater, and music, of doctors and others; for the colossal damage done to the nation's culture and science. Out of criminal ideological motives, genetics and cybernetics, as well as progressive movements in economics, linguistics, and literary and artistic endeavor, were ostracized.

Bolshevism cannot escape responsibility for organizing racist trials - against Jewish Anti-Facist Committee, against the "doctors-murders" - aimed at fomenting enmity among the country's national groups and playing on the masses' vilest insticts.

Bolshevism cannot escape responsibility for organizing criminal campaigns against every kind of dissidence, whose many adherents were subjected to the widest array of punishments - prison, exile, special resettlement, expulsion abroad, pyschiatric institutionalization,loss of jobs, slanderous attacks in the press, and other indignities.

Bolshevism cannot escape responsiblity for the total militarization of the country, which rendered the people destitute and drastically stunted the development of society."

"Would you agree with the following statement:...'Bolshevism cannot escape responsibility...'"

I most assuredly do not agree. The Bolsheviks did in fact escape responsibility. There were no Nurenburg-type trials, no long prison sentences, nor were there any executions. They simply relabeled themselves as "ex"-Communists and went right on leading. Putin and Primakov are a case-in-point, not to mention the names I posted to you. Actually, with the proper research, it wouldn't be all that difficult to provide thousands of "case-in-points."
