Problem is that in today’s liberal attitude they’d most likely get off ... or jailed for life then let go after a while like the Lockerbee bomber ....

Those sentenced to the Gulag were loaded on cattle cars headed for Vladivostok, this journey often took weeks.

The survivors were then put on ships headed up the Sea of Okhotsk to Magadan, the official “Welcome to the Gulag” port. There have been stories of cannibalism, mass murder etc on these ships.

In the winter the ice often prevented docking so the prisoners marched ashore. I read an account by a woman who was the young daughter of some Magadan official at the time, she described seeing straggling columns of “ghosts” shuffling in out of the fog, barely dressed or shod, never stopping or speaking, always headed north thru’ town to the mines.

Solzhenitsyn wrote of it of course, another is “Kolyma Tales” by V. Shalamov.

Stalin made Hitler look like an amateur.

You don’t get it... these bolsheviks were united by their twisted ideology. They were not ethnic Christian Russians...

Exactly. It must be easier to kill off a population in the name of a twisted ideology when you’re not a member of that population. Hitler did much in the name of a superior German nationality he wasn’t a part of. And now we have obama...

Total murders are hard to establish: Best I have heard is:
6 million Jews under Hitler (plus 12 million WWII deaths),
23 million under Stalin (includes estimates of the Ukrainian starvation, USSR & Russian citizens such as these between 1922 and 1954, the Polish and Cossack army murders before and after WWII, and Eastern Europeans after WWII,
36 million under Mao,
48 million under the democrats pro-abortion/anti-Christ agenda

Robert Conquest is probably the best source for the total murdered in the U.S.S.R./Russia.

"Lenin, Stalin, Beria, etc., never went to trial."
And none of them even Russian.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, aka Lenin, was part Russian and part Kalmyk, Mordovan (Finn), German, Swedish, and Jewish. He was about as Russian as many of the early rulers of the Rus and was Russian Orthodox.

Lenin? Russian Orthodox? That’s sordidly funny. Among the best in the annals of the big lie.

He and his secular jewish commie comrades were responsible for the extermination of thousands of Russian Orthodox priests in the 1920s.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was baptised as a baby in the Russian Orthodox Church. He was in no way Jewish. His maternal grandfather, Israel Blank converted to the Russian Orthodox Church and took the name Aleksander. Save Nazi rules, Lennin was in no way Jewish.
He was a former Christian who turned on the faith of his birth and childhood. No one beat's the former would-be monk, Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili. That was no different than the ex-Jewish communists who sent rabbis to their death.

In a letter to Stalin, Anna, Lenin’s elder sister, wrote: “It is probably no secret for you that the research on our grandfather shows that he came from a poor Jewish family, that he was, as his baptismal certificate says, the son of a ‘Zhitomir burgher, Moishe Blank’ and this fact could serve in combating anti-Semitism.”

For more detail on Lenin’s background read Service.
Yes, I agree that both “jews” and “Christians” who turn to the dark side are as evil as they come. But the gang that established the bolshevik parastate was largely ethnically Jewish in origin and the jury is out on whether Lenin or Stalin were more despicable.

I vote Lenin.

And the bulk of the Russian Orthodox Church whored itself out to the Reds, particularly post-Stalin, just as it did for the Czar and as it continues to do for the Thuggocracy that runs the Petrostate of Russia.

You are full of it again - full of narrow minded ignorant obsolescent thinking.

The biggest historical mistake was the missed opportunity of the 90s—US and Russia becoming allies and unleashing 100 years of peace and prosperity.

I though it was "Israel Blank". Either way, I addressed it. And you note that he CONVERTED. And he married a Swedish-German Russian. Lenin's mother was not Jewish and neither was Lenin or his siblings.
