Does it order a census to determine the scope of the deaths during the period of dislocation? Does it even call it genocide or mass murder? If, and it would be a big if, the Russian government would accept responsibility for their predecessor actions and restore the lands and real properties stolen to the survivors if any and to their heirs. Then I could accept their intentions that they sincerely will oppose future genocides.<br /><br />I ask such questions perhaps rhetorically since I am sickened by the continuing reports from Russia that shows ongoing worship of the cult of Stalin, where he is praised and admired for his crimes. I suppose that Russia is just like other countries where the masses are led by their noses. Stalin and his clique of supporters ought to be tried and condemned if adjudicated guilty, but I shake my head at the current Russian governments winking at praise of Stalin. What the Tsar began, Stalin finished.derRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144233067868077338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858950.post-60265605769159744552015-12-15T08:20:19.268+03:002015-12-15T08:20:19.268+03:00derRach

My German is not idiomatic; is that meant to be 'Man on the way', like a traveler, or 'Man in the way', like an obstruction. I'm not trying to imply anything with either reading, just curious.<br /><br />Came by way of LGM, if you care. And your cite meter will show some hits from Venezuela this week.
