[Almost a Christian]

Anything that even quivered in opposition to the "Revolution"
would've been eradicated with unparallelled severity.....

The only pretext they would've required is the possibility however slight that you had an inkling of a capability for independent thought....

Defeated soldiers, just because the fact that they where soldiers would
immediately have made them marked men & prime material for their death lists....

Any notion of honour would've been viewed purely as a capitalistic indulgence.....

I believe the Red Cross found out it was the Russians.....

But uncomfortable facts makes objectionable reading .....

So why not put the imagination to good use & come up with new "facts"...
the victors feel better & the books bounce off the shelves!
