How many of your way of thinking went on loving Stalin until Khruschev et al generously allowed them to perceive the truth, eh Jim? I could name you at least a dozen, just from my own acquaintance, starting with my own brother-in-law's brother & sister-in-law, Eric & Eve Cohen ~~ lovely people both, but there were things they just didn't want to know. Never let your own history with regard to Dear Old Uncle Joe become public for that matter, have you then, Jim? What would you have said if anyone had asked you about him in about 1950?

No surprise there...

Best, as ever -
