Hence the utility of the category "unpersons"...
Yup, remember how Kundera's, "Book Of Laughter And Forgetting, " opens? On "unpersons" there is a great coffee table book from Penguin on the Purges, that has all these great before and after pictures. One photo, Trotsky is in the frame with Lenin while he addresses the masses in 1917. Next image Leon is airbrushed out. Those airbrush folks got lotsa work.
