    Getting gulag and ghetto mixed up, are we? There is no particular Jewish connotation to gulags, except maybe that the person who set up the system originally was Lenin, himself Jewish. Oh, and I am not Jewish. Is this a competition to see how wrong you can be?

    Why is that so surprising? They both hated Soviet communism.

    During the Great Purges of Stalin tens of thousands of Jews disappeared in the Gulag. Until the 1990s, Jewish life in the Soviet Union and Russia oscillated between equality and neglect. When it became possible in the course of the change, many veterans therefore left the country for which they had drawn in the Great Patriotic War. Many went to Israel, some to the USA, some also to Germany.
    While Jews were able to rise to the highest ranks in the army during the war, their position changed fatally after the victory. Jewish Red Army soldiers were soon ordered back to the Soviet Union because they were not allowed to do their service abroad. Shortly before his death in March 1953, Stalin staged the “Doctors' Conspiracy”, an anti-Semitic campaign on a large scale. Moscow medical leaders, including Kremlin doctors, have been charged with spying for the United States. There was talk of an international Jewish bourgeois nationalist conspiracy. Even prominent Jews in the Communist Party, such as the wife of prominent Politburo member Vyacheslav Molotov, disappeared into the torture rooms of the secret service.

    18,000,000 people passed through the Gulags between 1918 and 1960, and an estimated 1,600,000 died. Wow, were some Jewish? Repeat- there is no Jewish connotation to Gulag. Get your mind out of the ghetto.

    Yes. That sounds like the totally logical thing to do. Use the Novichok. Just what Russia needs. Novichok in the headlines again !!.

    Just like Epstein. Just like the guy who led the White Helmets, the CIA will kill Navalny. He is part of too much fake history. They won't be able to manage him anymore

    Btw where are the Skripals ?

    Russian alcohol consumption is down to EU averages, you box headed sour kraut donkey. Russia hasn't been communist since 1989, you utter block head.

    Russian alcohol consumption decreased by 43% from 2003 to 2016, a World Health Organization (WHO) report says.

    I'm not arguing that Stalin 'wasn't anti-semitic', or otherwise (and neither do I care)- why the blatant lie? It is quite clear what I said- that gulag does not have a Jewish connotation. Gulags were associated with political prisoners, not the Final solution- which was a German invention. I'm pretty sure the numpty confused it with ghetto, but who cares.

    If you want to do some djoo baiting, then do yer own research- such as how many Jews were in fact in the gulag system, as administrators & bosses.

    Yep, question is whodunnit. IT WERE'NT VLAD. My sporting guess is on one of the 'influential figures' he was investigating for corruption, but that's a fairly broad field.

    The attack on the USSR and the wholesale slaughter of Belarus and Ukraine was part of the final solution. Hitlers anti Semitism came mostly from his hate of the Bolshevik state.

    And its also funny how the USSR was led mostly by a Georgian and Ukrainians. The first Russian to lead it dissolved it. But Russia still gets all the grief for the USSR.

    Andropov
    Chernenko
    Gorbachev
    . . . then the Soviet Union was dismantled.

    Seriously, when spreading your bullshit lies you should really do even the tiniest bit of research

    And my sporting guess is that your so called influential figures bought the "novichok" at "Alibaba Express".
