Wall of Grief: Putin opens first Soviet victims memorial

At least 750,000 people were executed and millions deported or imprisoned under Stalin's rule from the 1920s to the 1950s in the Soviet Union.

Mr Putin said seeing the era clearly would help "prevent it being repeated."

 

"prevent it being repeated......" 

Isn't it a clear hypocrisy???????

Indeed many of those victims were Jehovah's Witnesses, who are now being put in prison for their faith.

I think so, even though Putin has directed this to Stalin's autrocious actions, Putin has not learned anything from the past and us therefore repeating it.

Does he think that trying to make himself look good by this statue that people will forget his autrocities?

 

Mr Putin said: "An unequivocal and clear assessment of the repression will help to prevent it being repeated."

"This terrible past must not be erased from our national memory and cannot be justified by anything.
