And the rennaissance of Stalin cult is blossoming on. Archconservative veteran orgainstions managed to push through a bill at court that renames the city Stalingrad for several days per year. Throughout Russia, report Russian newspaper, busses with Stalin portraits are to be seen. A critical discussion abo9tu the fact that stalin belongs amongst the greatets m,ass murderers and war criminals of all time, does not take place.
Since many years, Stalin is becoming en vogue again. There are musicals about him, school books gloss over his murderous acting and glorify him, he is very popular with many young ones.
Hm.
These days I read a report that the Russian airforce is reintroducing the red star on its planes.
Hm.
And of Putin one can safely say that he has completely abandoned his 15+ years ago attempts to bring Russia closer to Europe, and now has plotted a determined course back into the past.
Remembrance all this is not. It is abuse. It is transfiguration.
