I agree the guy was efficient. Heck, I couldn’t bury twenty million people if I started right now and worked 24/7. Hey, that’s a great idea for the next book: “Stalin’s Guide to Time Management”.
So they are copying US history books eh?
LOL! What's 20-million dead among friends?
I’ve read many, many books on the period in question, but the best is probably “The Soviet Tragedy: A History of Socialism in Russia, 1917-1991” by Martin Malia. Tragedy is the right word, except that it cannot even remotely capture the disaster of the Soviet era, at every level and from every perspective. I can hardly even think of that time without recounting all the stories of the individual lives destroyed; it was an evil of unfathomable proportion, and the only response I can think of that is appropriate for a civilized man is to weep in recollection. All those pour souls; Putin and his criminals are shoveling dirt on their memories once again.
Putin is icing a cake that is really a cardboard shell. Under the frosting, there is no cake.
Thank you for this thread.
The book will soon be in our schools.
It will first go to etext.org, which is the storage site for the communist writings that we see re-written so often in America.
At etext.org click on politics and you will see what I meant.
