So many things about this article are absolutely unbelievable.
“Russians tend to forget that Stalin had a Georgian last name, Dzhugashvili, which was overshadowed when he adopted the nom de guerre of Stalin, meaning man of steel, when he was in his 30s,” Mr. Guruli said. “But every Georgian knows Stalin came from here. He may have given his execution orders in Russian, but he did so with a heavy Georgian accent.”
How could you possibly be proud of this?????
"The [Stalin M]useum’s senior tour guide... said she had been extolling Stalin’s accomplishments for nearly 30 years, until three months ago, when the museum added a “gulag section.” The section consists of a laminated, letter-size piece of paper quoting three sentences from a 1997 issue of Pravda, the Russian newspaper: “About 3.8 million people were prosecuted between 1921 and 1954,” the paper says. “About 643,000 people were sentenced to death. And this happened in a country that experienced three revolutions, two world wars, one civil war and several local wars.”
I'm sorry, 18 million people died and all we get is an A4 sheet of paper?!?!?!?!
Gaahhhh!!! I'll commence my day when I can stop twitching in horror.
