Khrushchev was an ethnic Russian, who was Moscow’s man in the Ukraine in the 1940s.
Beria caught wind of it, and poisoned Stalin, allegedly, he told the rest of the Politburo, which was going to be purged, along with Beria himself, "I saved all of you."
Hitler was perhaps the biggest Socialist monster. He was the only person in history to ever give Communism something they’ve never had before or since- The Moral High Ground.
Good point in your post #23.
True, I was probably fooled by his habit to wear Ukrainian national dress and his overall connection to Ukraine. Anyway he has moved to Ukraine as a 15 yo and started his career there.
In Soviet Union, Ukrainians were fellow “Homo Sovieticus” with the Russians. They tried to eliminate all notions of nationalism.
I don’t know what you are talking about, the commies have absolutely nothing to do with it
The errors may convey that it was not “official”.
It’s very existence shows a dangerous mindset, too close to the front lines to be ignored.
Didn’t do Beria much good, huh?
The NKVD had gotten WAY too powerful by then, and Beria was a notorious sexual pervert, so the rest of the Politburo had him accused of spying and shot not long after Stalin died.
Actually, I think you don't know what you are talking about. You asked for an example of some good deed done by the Russians after the murder of the Tsar. I gave you one - unless you are going to say the Soviets don't count as Russians. And it was Russian communists who killed the Tsar in the first place. So yes, the commies had a lot to do with it.
FYI do you know how they did it? Killed more than a quarter of their own population? We have that movie, The Killing Fields, where masses of people are killed by suffocation, but that's drama. You can't really kill millions of people by putting plastic baggies on their heads. The Khmer Rouge was always a small minority and too much overt killing would have produced a rebellion.
The Khmer Rouge abolished money. The elimination of money caused a complete collapse in the social division of labor. Without pricing every sort of production became grossly inefficient. Agriculture was no exception, and most of the people who died simply died of starvation and starvation related diseases.
Given that China’s poulation was around 600,000,000 that would be about 13% for Mao ... Still, Mao’s 76M high body pile would be far higher the Pot’s meager 2,000,000 ... Just a rounding error for Mao.
Preaching to the choir ...
Khrushchev was born in Russia. His father later got a job in Ukraine and the family moved there.
