The reality is that Ukraine has been raped and abused by Russia for over 90 years and the people there are desperate to align their country with the west for protection.
Stalin was a monster and history has been re-written in an effort to scrub his attrocities from the records. Now we have Putin, the master of deception, leading Russia into more of the same and cleansing the records as he does it.
"People crawled into wheat fields to eat ears of wheat before dropping dead. They died from hunger in the act of eating. Children collapsed and died during lessons. A mother took the bread from her offspring to feed her husband (she could, she said, always have more kids, but she could only ever have one husband). A couple put their children in a deep hole and left them there, in order not to watch them die. A father strangled his own children rather than watch them perish from hunger. Communities that had once been kind and welcoming became mistrustful and violent; lynch mobs tortured people. And in the end, most horrifically of all, people began to eat each other."
