It looked good on paper...
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

"A monument will be erected to those who took part in [leading the war against Adolf Hitler], including Stalin," Oleg Tolkachev, Moscow's senator in the upper house of parliament, told Ekho Moskvy radio.


This sounds okay...

state television channels have shown a number of prime-time television shows in recent months depicting him in a positive light


...but it looks like The Decline has begun.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Stalin oversaw the killing of more people than Hitler did. Hell, he oversaw the killing of more people than anyone else in history.

I thought he only killed 2m as opposed to Hitler's 6m odd?

Hitler killed between 12 and 26 million, including approximately 6 million Jews, whereas Stalin killed between 5 and 20 million.

On the topic of Putin, I am in no way surprised. Ever since he came into office, I was worried for Russia. For some reason an ex-KGB operative as the Premi...er, President of Russia just spelled a bad message.

He needs to go. Now. Otherwise, we're faced with a reborn-USSR. Not immediately, but over a gradual period, unless he's replaced with a candidate that's more pro-capitalism and pro-democracy.

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.

Are you including casualties from war in that too? I was refering to those killed in purges etc.

Are you including civilian casualties in that number too?

Stalin's are from the purges and other killings of civilians, Hitler's from the Holocaust and other killing of civilians.

I presume the purges total includes those in the Gulags?

I had the 5-20 million estimate, not the two million.

The "6-million Jews" thing is bull****, BTW.

For starters, the deaths at Auschwitz 'official' figures range from like 1mil to 4mil - when recovered records put the actual figure at about 74,000 recorded deaths.

Quote
In the autumn of 1989 the Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev opened Soviet archives, and the public saw for the first time, the complete register of deaths at Auschwitz ‑ which speaks as a key document of 74,000 dead.


And the Germans weren't exactly care-free in their record keeping. They were totally anal about having every ****ing thing written down and triple-stamped.

Stalin and Mao both killed somewhere to the order of two times as many people as Hitler.

Everywhere I've ever looked I've seen Stalin ranked as the #1 mass murderer in human history.
