The last number I heard (on Russian TV) was 20 million Soviet citizens dead
by Stalin orders - shot or frozen or famine or during building all those
monumentous Soviet projects. And it continued after Stalin, although on
lesser scale. Road from Baikal to Amur was built. What Hitler have done
(mostly) to his enemies, Stalin and communists did to their own people.
Gautam, to which city are you going in Russia? At 9 May big concert is
planned in a park. Many artists from Russia are coming. When asked if he is
not afraid to come to Israel now, he answered that Moscow is not really
different. :-( Take care.
