Stalin tried to starve the Ukrainians to death. No wonder they don’t want to be under Russia’s thumb. Stalin and Hitler both wanted to steal the land for their own use.

A cornucopia of fertile land - hard to resist for government strongmen.

Oh, i knew for sure what you were saying!

No doubt in my mind that Mitt and Liz would also run gulags if they could, as would all their Dem pals.

Just read that Stalin was 5’5”, same as Lenin, and Hitler was 5’9”. Gotta watch out for the little guys.

coming fake “Doctors’ Plot”
______

Doctor’s plot was the last Stalin purge. The accused were tortured and fake confessions extracted. Apparently, it was supposed to be followed by deportations and killing of most Soviet Jews.

What’s interesting, that the one who died from it was comrade Stalin himself!
Apparently, all doctors were scared to death that they might be included on the list of the accused. So everybody was scared to even touch him. Instead of quickly treating Stalin, they called endless meetings and discussions. By the time, they reach any conclusions, it was too late.

Ha!

Reminds me of a video game called “Crusader Kings” where you can hire a court physician for your King, and he can have a positive or negative opinion of you... there’s a big warning in red when you go to appoint someone that says: “WARNING: May be a powerful agent in schemes against you!”

Says something for the “Napoleon Complex” line of thought.

Buscemi was great as Khrushchev. Jason Isaacs (who played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies) was also hilarious as Marshal Zhukov.
