#2 after the 1921 famine, the 1932-33 Holodomer famine hit the Ukraine and nearby areas - 5-8 million people died in that event (Walter Duranty won the Pulitzer for his pro soviet progaganda covering that).

#3 The photos are just brutal.

Interesting are the posters and the early art style of the soviet propagandists.

I guess I do not have an opinion one way or the other about the Russians as a people, mainly through seer ignorance. Sure seems like they have a lot of bad luck though.

#4 Even if you viscerally hate Russia, which I s'pect most Rantburgers do, you should read over this account.

I don't hate Russia. I hate communism.

#7 Of course I don't hate Russia. Visited it several times and have great friends there.

Communism and communists are responsible for this. just like Mao and his ilk killed millions of Chinese by starvation.

#8 I don't hate the Russians. Not even during the Cold War. Hate is an expensive luxury.

Every Hillary's voter should read this.

Wouldn't do any good.The Western Left adored the ~~Russians~~ Soviets. Not so much the Chinese (which I blame on that much-abused term, 'racism'.) Which is why the average Westerner knows more about Chinese Communist 'disasters' than ~~Russian~~ Soviet ones.
