This is from the pen of a Russian citizen to his OWN people written just a few months ago. Can we please heed his advice?

Let us direct all of our energy and authority towards discrediting the whole “Bolshevik ideology,” let us talk frequently and freely about the crimes against humanity committed by Lenin and Stalin, and by the entire communist party.

Let us speak more and more often about the fact that the memorials to Lenin that stand all over Russia are commemorating a murderer. In doing this, it is important not to dishonor the memory of those who gave their lives in service to the motherland and its people.

However, the popular idea that it was Stalin who won World War II must be overthrown. The Russian people, just like the peoples of Europe, were the victims of the inhumane machine of Hitlerism and Stalinism. Stalin did not win the war, he built victory with the bodies of millions of people, our fathers and grandfathers, who truly accomplished heroic deeds, but we must not forget that many of them went into combat faced with the muzzles of Russian automatic machine guns.

This is worth talking about as well, as much as possible. World War II – that great human tragedy, which our current government uses as bait for the hook that the Russian people has swallowed.

It hurts me that on May 9, instead of silence and shame, we have death machines rolling across Red Square, and the standard-bearers of the ruling regime stand next to the unburied corpse of Lenin and raise, in the eyes of the citizens, their political ratings, all the while calling it patriotism.

I don’t give Stalin (may in burn in he’ll for eternity) the credit, but the fact is that the German armed forces were bled very badly on the Eastern front for nearly 3 years before the western Allies were able to put very many dozens of divisions into battle in France. That is all I was saying.

During the state dinner as part of a military mission to the USSR during World War 2, Chief of Naval Operations Ernest King offered a toast “To the Heroic Fighting Qualities of the Red Army.”

Stalin dryly replied “It takes a brave man to not be a hero in the Red Army.”
