President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday slammed the Soviet Union as a totalitarian regime that suppressed human rights, in the most damning assessment of the USSR by a Russian leader in recent years.
(A rather obvious fact that he has decided to highlight. If Medvedev backs this up with a concerted effort to reevaluate Soviet history generally within the confines of Russian culture and media, and how it is taught in schools, colleges and universities more specifically....then his statement will have have full meaning.
Otherwise just another provocative statement by an opportune politician looking to gain attention and votes. He can establish a powerful committee to look into and investigate this matter making actionable recommendations by the State there after, consisting of revisionist Russian nationalist historians, Orthodox Church religious figures and those familiar with the operations of Internationalist Jewish finance with their antics )
In an interview with the Izvestia newspaper published two days before Russia marks the 65th anniversary of victory in World War II, Medvedev said the crimes of wartime dictator Joseph Stalin could never be forgiven.
(Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev at the Twentieth Party Congress, delivered the "Secret Speech", denouncing Stalin's purges and ushering in a less repressive era in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), but fundamentally his reforms were superficial and short lived hence the Soviet Unions eventual collapse........so Medvedev is not the first major political figure to denounce Satan Stalin.....a man who killed more Soviet/Russians than the combined efforts of the Nazis, Napolean and the Tartar/Mongols.........a record, if that is you believe the work of revisionist history.
Medvedev's symbolic speech will have some meaning for the country if he follows this up with a State funded effort to revise substantially, Soviet/Russian history as it is still taught today)
"The Soviet Union was a very complicated state and if we speak honestly the regime that was built in the Soviet Union... cannot be called anything other than totalitarian," he said.
(Yes Dimitry complicated, but not beyond comprehension where its worst crimes against humanity were involved, the Holmidor, the Gulags, the Great Purges and the institution of emergency rule with emergency arbitrary law between 1918--1924 within the Soviet Union....or against Poland 1939--41, or against Afghanistan 1980--1989)
"Unfortunately, this was a regime where elementary rights and freedoms were suppressed."
(Authoritarian regimes whatever disguise and name they adopt are to be despised universally because of what such regimes are capable of doing. One could argue that the UK is now more authoritarian than it was in the 1960's, or the USA now with its Patriot Acts in comparison to the 1970's under Carter. Authoritarian regimes come in degrees...... Hitler in 1933, and in 1943.
In the Soviet Union the worst crimes that need urgent honest highlighting is not the Jewish Bolsheviks mere suppression of elementary rights and freedoms (so that nobody would question their obvious crimes) but the genocide of tens of millions of its own people....innocent good Russian people.......The accounts and rough drawings of inmates of the Gulags make the Nazis seem like strict Sunday School teachers if revisionist history is to be believed)
Medvedev and his predecessor in the Kremlin, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, have until now rarely criticised the Soviet system and instead focused on its achievements.
(Because many in Russia believe the Jewish oligarchy in Russia which ran the Soviet Union have changed their names in living in the present Russian "Democracy", but still feel the need to protect their previous "achievements'' under the Jewish Bolshevik run Communist Party, or the fear of exposure)
"Medvedev has made a very strong declaration which has been awaited for a very long time," Russian human rights activist Lev Ponomarev, usually one of the Kremlin's harshest critics, told AFP.
(I will only give weight to this "Declaration" if it is followed by other State actions mentioned before, otherwise its a mini-Khruschev like denunciation, nothing more)
Putin, still seen by most observers as Russia's de-facto number one leader, once famously described the collapse of the Soviet Union as the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe" of the 20th century.
(The Jews of the Soviet Union collapsed the Soviet Union. The country could have been gradually reformed as with China, or kept as it was, with worsening conditions as with North Korea. The Collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst case scenario that could have been avoided. The Jew run KGB within its inner circle de facto became the decision maker within the country, and not the Politburo and the Communist Party, coupled with the ever increasing defense budget made the situation critical. But North Korea is still intact as a country and has not collapsed despite maintaining defense spending of 25% since the early 1990's, so it is wrong to say the Soviet Union collapsed because of higher defense spending only. Mikhail Gorbachov tried to change the Soviet system too quickly and clumsily as with Khruschev, and these failures must be attributed to the Jewish elite which ran the Soviet Union. The real economic collapse of Russia took place between 1991---2000, when the Russian Jewish elite allied to the International Jewish bankers looted Russia under a false neo-liberal doctrine of opening up the economy and modernization and then in reality selling its economic assets for pennies and cents, and Russia almost became a de-industrialised Third World nation)
The president -- who succeeded Putin exactly two years ago on May 7, 2008 -- said that after its World War II triumph, the Soviet Union failed to allow its economy to develop.
(Meaningless statement, that is not backed by facts Dimitry:
In 1945, after WWII the Soviet Union produced 91.5 billion kwt of electricity; by 1989 it was 1,665 kwt. After WWII in 1945 the Soviet Union produced 12 million tons of steel; by 1989 165 million tons of steel.
The Soviet economy grew by about four time from 1945 to 1989, and there were obvious material benefits for the average Soviet citizens during this time....there had to be. The Soviet Union did achieve many things through the sheer hard work of the Soviet people and through their sacrifices. The defense budget covered about 14--17% of the GDP by the 1980's, and not as in North Korea now 25%, or Stalins Russia by 1941, 23 %.
Strong sincere leaderships can maintain high defense spending and make an inefficient Communist economic system work, however if the Jewish elite of the Soviet Union have other agenda's and feel the need to collapse the country, and emigrate to Israel, London and the USA, with the nations looted asset there after,........ than the Soviet Union had no chance of survival, whatever it did.......Gorbachov its seems clearly tried, Perestrioka, Glasnost etc...Going here there every where)
"This was accompanied by deaths and everything connected with dictatorship," commented Medvedev.
(Yes Dimitry good but say it properly..........the Soviet Union killed tens of millions of its own people in some of the most horrific ways known to man, for no particular good reason other than the whims of the psychopathic leadership, the Jewish desire for vengeance after the Pogroms of the Czars and any other reason that came along)
Medvedev also issued his clearest condemnation of Stalin, who is blamed for the deaths of millions in prison camps, purges and the forced collectivization of agriculture, yet is still admired by many Russians as a strong leader.
"Stalin committed a mass of crimes against his own people," said Medvedev.
(Yes you could say that................can we have a memorial finally in Russia as big as the ones of the Patriotic War for ALL the victims of the Soviet genocides...separate ones. A state comemoration of the sad events...the laying of wreaths...State penance......to deny ones true history is to deny ones true self, and reality.......this is both dangerous and false)
"And despite the fact that he worked a lot, and despite the fact that under his leadership the country recorded many successes, what was done to his own people cannot be forgiven."
(I would say with confidence that his minus's were far greater than his pluses:
1. Force Industrialisation (1928--1941) under the 5 year plans: The first thing to note about this episode is that arch Capitalist rival the USA played a pivotal role in Soviet industrialisation......NOT the romantic notion that the Soviet Union just materialized state of the art technology by magic, "jam tomorrow" and singing the Communist International. Jewish CAPITALIST International bankers built up Soviet heavy strategic industry. Also we must dispose of the Soviet propaganda that by starving and sacrificing 10-20 million people is in anyway a proper moral justification for the modernisation of the country. Finally many nations have shown that rapid modernisation and economic development can take place without the Soviet "melodrama" and crimes that accompanied Soviet industrialisation, through effective leadership, and state planning judicially investing in the appropriate sectors......You only have to look at the Tiger economies of East Asia, especially Singapore under Lee Kwan Yew as one example, South Korea....from Third to First world in 20 years; Malaysia under Mohammed Mahathir..........dare I say it Hitlers Germany from 1933--1941, or the USA and Roosevelts "New Deal" 1933...1945.
2. Stalin's collectivisation programs: more failure than successes if you read modern revisionist accounts.
3. Stalin made the Soviet Union a super power: Given Imperial Czarist Russia's size, population (176 million in 1914) and resources......and the reforms that the Czar was carrying out, many in Europe spoke of Russia becoming a mighty power within a few decades especially within Germany. So I would say that even if the Czars were still in power after the Great War, Imperial Russia would have eventually become a great modern power, without the assistence of the Jewish Communists pushing that endevour through. Imperial Russia in 1914 had the rudiments of a modern society.
Yes by 1941 the Soviet Union on paper was the most powerful nation on earth, with almost 7 million under arms, 25--38,000 tanks, 50,000 artillery and so forth, but when Stalin killed 80% of the officer corps, he basically nuttered its effectiveness in the battle field....which allowed the Nazi Germans to advance deep into the Soviet Union, and which resulted in the death of 20 million Soviet citizens and the sacrifice of 9 million Soviet soldiers lives subsequently. Meaningless Phyrric victory, with great mistakes by Stalin.....with large parts of the Soviet Union utterly destroyed by 1945 and wars end.
4. Nuke bombs, and rocket technology, adding to its superpower status: The nuke bomb technology were provided by kindly sympathetic Jewish citizens of America, and not Stalin's achievements per se, and the rocket technology were the work of captured German scientists.)
Russia is due to mark Victory Day on Sunday with a giant military parade attended by a host of world leaders and featuring 10,000 Russian troops and nuclear-capable missiles, as well as British, French, Polish and US soldiers.
Parade preparations were overshadowed by a controversy about a plan to hang posters of Stalin, initially proposed by the Moscow municipality but then scrapped, reportedly on Kremlin orders.
Medvedev rubbished the notion that Stalin won the war for the Soviet Union, saying that "the Great Patriotic War was won by our people, not by Stalin or even the generals."
(There Dimitry you now have a few more votes)
Both of Medvedev's grandfathers fought in the Red Army.
Western historians have for years said an overconfident Stalin was stunned by the German invasion in 1941 and Medvedev admitted the Soviet Union could "have prepared more carefully" for the Nazi attack.
(essentially WWII was about the Nazis fighting the Red army, everything else was a side show........the Red army destroyed 500 German division formations)
Long criticised by human rights activists and Western historians for painting too rosy a picture of the Soviet past, Russia has over the past months taken cautious steps towards eroding powerful taboos over its wartime history.
(And political history one hopes)
Last month it published on the Internet documents proving that Soviet secret police massacred Polish officers at Katyn forest in 1940, a crime the USSR long attempted to cover up by blaming it on the Nazis.
Katyn "was a very dark page.... It is not just those abroad who allow history to be falsified. We ourselves have allowed history to be falsified," Medvedev said.
Political analyst Alexander Konovalov, director of the Institute for Strategic Evaluations, said that Medvedev was moving little-by-little to change Russian public opinion on history.
(pragmatic and correct.....though not so slow that nobody even notices the change within Russia)
"These comments will contribute to re-establish historical truths," he said.

Educated Russians need to revise and reevaluate their history through the medium of newspapers articles, magazines, music, theater, art, books, CINEMA, and of course television, without fear of using the JEW word. Russia doesn't need OFFICIAL revisionist history in state education which hides the truth from Russian children..........ONLY puppets of the Jews and crypto-Jews within the state apparatus would wish to maintain this type of false propaganda.
