[Mount Athos]

“I think the Ukrainian people have a better memory of Russian rule then we do...”

Except the small detail that Stalin was not Russian?

How you blame events done by Stalin on “Russian rule”, when Stalin was not even Russian, and he had complete totalitarian power?

You could have accurately blamed it specifically on communists, but then your point would have fallen apart.

Lenin was a mass murderer too, yet his statues are still all over Russia. The Ukrainian people have been tearing them down. If Russians are so embarrassed by their Communist past, then why haven't they distanced themselves from their mass murderers?

“If for the sake of Communism it is necessary for us to destroy 9/10ths of the people, we must not hesitate”  Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov-Blank (better known as Vladimir Lenin)
