Thread Name: BS: Queen Mother
Subject: RE: BS: Queen Mother
No intention of entering into one of your "my "real" historian can piss higher than your "real historian" competitions, and I've certainly no intention of tryiny to rehabilitate Stalin - I've said what I believe he was.
I've been interested in Modern European history for most of my life and I've always been aware of the claims surrounding the Ukrainian famine, so I really don't need to dredge the net to prove the unprovable.
As far as I ma concerned this statement more or less sums up how I understand it
" Compared to the Holocaust, there has been little serious study of the famine even among its survivors."
And this essay more or less reflects my own views, make of it what you will.
Genocide or a vast tragedy
If you have anything to add that doesn't come with your usual agenda, feel free.
