There’s a sanitizing of Soviet History (led by Snyder). Everything is blamed on Stalin. None of the leaders of the Checka, NKVD, KGB are ever mentioned. Many of them were Jewish, as noted by Israeli columnist Sever Plocker (here). No one has a monopoly on cruelty, nor on victimhood.

The comment goes to say what I posted many times about
Stephon Bandera.

Many of those who happened to be Jewish also supported
the Soviets. Grasp that they his enemy.
I’m glad I’m not alone in trying to fix history.
