Your reminder that Putin is playing revisionist history with Stalin's legacy Washington Post: In Putin’s Russia, it just got easier to find the perpetrators of Stalin’s purges:
The archive, culled from the records of Stalin’s security forces (the NKVD) and posted on the website of Memorial, the human rights group, for the first time names those who carried out some 700,000 executions from 1935 to 1939 during “The Great Terror.” Russian President Vladimir Putin has in recent years revised Stalin’s legacy, emphasizing the dictator’s role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II and turning the Soviet Union into a world power.
