When I saw 'Dr Zhivago' in 1965 I was confused. 60 years later I started
reading Neal Stephenson's new novel 'Polostan' and I'm still confused
although I've read a lot more history in the meantime. My main takeaway is
the Soviets were good at eating their own be they Cossack or kulaks, and
other random victims like the Polish officer corps at Katyn Forest.
 
Years ago I read Kuznetsov's book, 'Babi Yar'. iirc some of the Ukrainians
in Kiev liked a good massacre too. Some of that history came back to light
in connection with the Azov Brigade's history.
