And sadly the NKVD legacy is celebrated in today’s Russia. As a “necessary” evil.
Felix Derzhinsky portraits abound in police stations and Stalin’s crimes are justified because well...he beat the Nazis.
Current FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov defended the purges last week at the centennial of thd founding of the Cheka:

file this under the title of the “good old days”. We are not absolved of these types of reminisces.
And well they should...Without his ruthless genius, the revolution would have failed...
In fact, we see much of his doctrinal influence today in the U.S. government.
It's now referred to as the "deep state", a sneaky malignant cancer that attacks those pesky concepts: freedom & liberty.
It can also be found in the the other hidden agenda for destroying the U.S. know as "open borders".
Aspects of Dzerzhinsky's strategies can be found in both of the above. They were key in saving a failing Russian revolution. Whether they will save the current marxist coup in the U.S. is still unclear...

Why are you still pushing this crap?
Literally he said that in 1930s the agency wasn’t entirely dedicated to political repression pursuing numerous cases which weren’t political.
The wording could have been chosen differently but his comment is factually true and nowhere is a defence of purges.
You linked Moscow Times with the original comment at the time and fully aware of all the above.
“”” Soviet Union was not perfect but it was good and...you lynch black people and intern Japanese...”””
And the difference between Kalmyk deportation and Japanese internment is?
Very little with the exception that it was easier for Kalmyks who were deported but stayed free while the Japanese were effectively imprisoned.
Another important aspect is both cases are history. The Soviets recognized Kalmyk deportation as a crime in freaking 1956 and you are trying to sling it on a ‘Putin regime’.
I have more than once explained you that so-called ‘Stalin rehabilitation’ is not going on for real in Russia and is just a new line on NWO propaganda.
I gave you links to polls showing exactly 2% Stalin admirers and you even managed to spin that saying that the majority of polled being indifferent to Stalin are as bad (although where goes your case of widespread ‘Stalin admiration’?)
You basically have nothing but photoshoped religious symbols with Stalin put on them instead of Jesus to make case for this ridiculous lie entirely bases on pompous fake BBC coverages.
One thing for sure I once again won’t see any coherent response from you on this.
