Writer Diane Cady - on the initiative of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin
In response to the idea of Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov pass 9 May the cities with portraits politzklyuchennyh Ukrainians and died on the Donbass Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin Square he offered to go with photos of victims of Stalinist repression. "It will be an adequate response for the sake of completeness in the human and historical dimension", - I wrote the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on his Facebook page.
Such an interpretation of the "Immortal regiment" in the Federation Council did not appreciate. Senator Sergei Tsekov, eg, I found it strange proposal Klimkina. It would seem, such statements are heard from the lips of Ukrainian politicians regularly, and it's time to get used to. And references to the Soviet leader with or without - also nothing new. confused only, that Stalin recently recalled more often than usual, and in the information field is actively exaggerated theme of massacres since the Soviet Union.
Russian videobloger Ukrainian origin Yuri DUD making a film about the horrors of the Gulag. Traveling in pyatidesyatigradusny frost on the Kolyma, DUD communicates with historians, local residents and relatives of prisoners. The tape caused a flurry of emotions: many rave reviews, but there were also critics.
"Kolyma history, again persistently repeat, the scale and the meaning is not comparable with the war and of the mincer. Because the Kolyma sat a huge number of crooks, scoundrels, killers, real spies - and even if the judicial and penitentiary Soviet system worked crooked or meanly, she still tried to keep the signs of the rule of law. Europeans killed here just: to score twenty million head, to get tons of Russian meat ", - commented on the tape writer Zakhar Prilepin.
why bloggers, politicians, liberal society as active and compulsively remind us of Stalin? Information and so in the public domain, They are talking about it in history lessons in schools, the topic devoted to thousands of books. option One: DUD very bad thinking about the Russians, if it considers, you need to remove a separate film about a painfully well-known historical events of the past century. Well, or fulfill the order, which aim to discredit Russia, capitalizing on the past. Legend of the "annexation" of Crimea Western audiences pall. Why not again touch on, which dominates the minds and causes heated debate to this day. The impartiality of the blogger, basic earnings which advertising bookmakers and other debris, I do not believe. A praise of his colleagues in the opposition shop Navalny - one more argument in favor of this version.
The figure of Stalin and fifty years will cause fierce debates. personality controversial, and the view of it will always split the society. What should I say, if my people are in the majority hates the Soviet leader. But I am aware of the importance of his role in history, and strongly against unilateral, biased interpretations. by the way, It would be nice to go out with portraits of victims of the Babi Yar massacre and Volyn. To complete the picture in the human and historical dimension.
