Politicians should be kept away from History! Oh and Youtubers too! If you seen them get involved in history discussions, it is quite scary.

Stalin is as dead as the three politicians the idots in Kiev wish to bring to "court" Why not try him also? It makes as much sense. When a holocaust like this occurs little good can be learned by changing the guilty parties. I have an idea maybe it wasn't Hilter but the local Burgomaster that killed the jews, Russian POWS and all the others, lets put them on trial.

All former nations that formed the Soviet Union should form a common bag of money so they can compensate their victims for the cruelty suffered. It is only fair to do so. All of the victims deserve respect, independently of wich nation they belonged to.
