  There’s an old Russian joke that goes something like this. “Why is Hitler only up to his neck in blood? Because he’s standing on Stalins shoulders.”

  The fact that Stalinists aren't treated like Nazis in modern society disgusts me

  &quot;Why didn&apos;t they just escape?&quot;<br>I mean sure, you can escape a Siberian prison, but then you&apos;re still in Siberia... and good luck with that.

  I worked with a woman who’s mom had grown up in Stalin’s Russia. &nbsp;She was smuggled across the frontier into Norway in a suitcase when she was 15; she weighed 60 ish pounds. &nbsp;She was my age, and looked 20 years older. &nbsp;Men in uniforms sent her into frightened hiding under her desk. &nbsp;And she hated Stalin with a barely sane rage I have never seen in my life. &nbsp;She was terrified that “they” would come get her, even after the Berlin Wall fell, even after Yelsin took over. &nbsp;She would tell anyone to fear the day our country followed a man rather than our principles. &nbsp;She had food hidden everywhere in her house, even cans of soup under the sink in the bathroom. &nbsp;She knew what it was like to be hungry, and she never forgot. &nbsp;She finally died of a heart condition associated with being starved as a child. &nbsp;RIP, Lana...

  After studying Russian history, one quote stuck with me; &quot;In Russia, even the rocks are guilty.&quot; That land has been home to unparalleled suffering and cruelty on a scale that defies comprehension.

  The fact that they were trying to make “self sustaining farms” IN SIBERIA, is something I just can’t get over because it’s so insane😳All that farmland in arctic climates😳

  The worst part of this whole story is not that it happened, but that it isn&apos;t common knowledge nor taught in school.

  Stalin was a monster and it make me sick that Vladimir Putin is trying to rehabilitate his image.
