Re: BREAKING : Poland: "russia" and Germany have to pay To Poland World War II reparations" Great ne
Historical revisionism.
From the Bolshavik to fall of the USSR the Reds have earned that moniker.
From intentionally killing people to death by criminal neglect Lenin, Stalin and his ilk killed and killed. Holodomor. Red Terror. Purges. Trotsky. Etc.

The subtitle of Solzhenitsyn's book "the GULAG Archipelago", from which most of the modern myths about the USSR originate, is subtitled in the Russian edition: "the Experience of artistic research". In other words, in english, "Non-scientific fiction".
In 2015, the Russian historian Zemskov died. And it was he, who positioned himself as an anti-Stalinist, who dealt a fatal blow to the myth of "millions shot". In the framework of basic scientific integrity and working with primary documents of the NKVD and the Gulag, he addressed repression in the Soviet Union from a position of facts, not ideological preferences, showing the history of the style, "as it was", but not as much as some would like, in the style of famous myths "all imprisoned and shot without guilt" and "all imprisoned and shot for the cause". As a result, his work at the beginning of this century actually buried a whole pack of black myths about Stalin and the USSR and contributed to the historical rehabilitation of Stalin in Russia. When you now see a young man who makes fun of a liberal with his cries about "hundreds of millions of victims of stalinism", this is also the work of Zemskov, who gave an invoice that largely allowed to overcome some of the Khrushchev and Perestroika lies.
