Maybe if I had a 20 percent chance of being executed
and I was spared, I'd be grateful.

(20 million dead according to Conquest, 35 million according to Pipes, 50
million according to Solzhenitsyn, and indeed 10-15 million according to
Medvedev). That does not make Stalinism OK. jks

Solzhenitsyn I believe goes through the curious tactic of counting unborn
children of murder victims as murder victims themselves.

BTW Stalin is the most popular Soviet/Russian leader ever. He was detested
by 20% of the population, adored by everybody else. Hell, even the relatives
of people he killed often like Stalin. I personally know buckets of people
in Russia who like Stalin. That personality cult was genuine.
