Russia: A Hidden History of Evil by Claire Berlinski

Why doesn’t anyone care about the unread Soviet archives?

It's not so much that people don't care, as it's a case of the liberal controlled media aided by a liberal run education system, brainwashing everyone.

In the world’s collective consciousness, the word “Nazi” is synonymous with evil. It is widely understood that the Nazis’ ideology—nationalism, anti-Semitism, the autarkic ethnic state, the Führer principle—led directly to the furnaces of Auschwitz. It is not nearly as well understood that Communism led just as inexorably, everywhere on the globe where it was applied, to starvation, torture, and slave-labor camps. Nor is it widely acknowledged that Communism was responsible for the deaths of some 150 million human beings during the twentieth century. The world remains inexplicably indifferent and uncurious about the deadliest ideology in history.


Read the whole thing. Here are just a few snippets of why you should.

-
According to Zagladin’s reports, for example, Kenneth Coates, who from 1989 to 1998 was a British member of the European Parliament, approached Zagladin on January 9, 1990, to discuss what amounted to a gradual merger of the European Parliament and the Supreme Soviet.


-
Zagladin’s records also note that the former leader of the British Labour Party, Neil Kinnock, approached Gorbachev—unauthorized, while Kinnock was leader of the opposition—through a secret envoy to discuss the possibility of halting the United Kingdom’s Trident nuclear-missile program.

I say the reason no one seems interested in digging into this, is that it would expose a lot of people. And since most of them would be on the left, the left wing media ignores them. Just like the Iraqi papers lying in a hangar waiting to be translated.
