In Reply to: Since you seem to be interested in that part of world history... posted by Victor Khomenko on December 7, 2011 at 19:10:43:
read another as soon as I finish struggling through the almost unreadable, "Ulysses." I would like to read a history of Stalin's reign; I saw another Russian documentary that touched on some of his henchmen, their lives, the impact of their barbarities. Trotsky also seems a fascinating character. Lenin, too. Some of the greatest cruelties are committed by those who wish to do good: they are the zealots that believe any sacrifice (of others, of course) is justified by the "cause."
I've always liked the Camus quote. When asked who was less moral, the guy who'd deprive you of food in the name of liberty or liberty in the name of food, "It's only a matter of which one to spit upon first."
Anyhow, Moscow and St. Petersburg look like the most amazing places on earth, urban-wise. And the Winter Palace looks positively stupendous--- and I've been several times to Versailles.
