The following is a copy of an email exchange between a delusional
Ukrainian and the founders of Stalin Rocks! :

Dear Mr. Orest Dorosh,
You must understand that you have an extremely biased opinions about
Stalin at your web page.  I am an American and have no stake in
deciding whether Stalin was a great man or not.  As an unbiased source
I can tell you that you are wrong.  Stalin WAS a great man.  You are
using the media of the internet to express an invalid, unsupported,
biased, and ignorant opinion of an amazing leader that just happened
to exterminate 20 million of your countrymen.  Sacrifice is necessary
for the good of the greater whole.  Many of the modern things around
your county now, are a result of this sacrifice by your ancestors.
Praise Stalin for his ruthless, yet far seeing, policies.

Mr.  Ecosoy,
You must be out of your mind Mister.  If Bill Clinton started to
massacre everyone in the state of California for no good reason I'm also sure
you would have a high opinion of him.
I'm sure the Jews would agree with you that Hitler was an amazing
leader.
Geoffrey Dalmer murder spree was also for the good of the country.
You should wake up and smell the coffee MIster.

Mr. Dorosh,
First of all, you are insulting your countrymen by saying they died
for no good reason. Stalin was a competent leader who only
concentrated on the good of his country. He led you through WWII and
ended it with the USSR as one of the superpowers of the world. There
are always a few sufferers in every rise to power. In this case, it
just happened to be several million of your countrymen. You insult me
personally by relating what Stalin did to Hitler.  Also, while the Dalmer
murder spree did not result in anything good for the United
States, the ukraine famine resulted in population control and
increased production.
Learn your facts and get rid of that nationalistic bias

Mr.  Ecosoy,
You should learn your facts. Murder for any reason whatsoever should be
adhored and not admired. Nationalism has nothing to do with it.
Now if you said that Brezchnev {sic} was a good leader we could have an
intelligent conversation.But you are so far in left field that I WILL
NOT waste anymore time on you.
 
 

Several days later I received this educational text file:

  As Britain's socialist government cleared the way for a gaudy show trial of that Great Satan of the left, Chile's Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the 65th anniversary of this century's bloodiest crime was utterly ignored. Leftists now baying for Pinochet's head don't want to be reminded of the Unknown Holocaust.
   In 1932, Soviet leader Josef Stalin unleashed genocide in Ukraine. Stalin determined to force Ukraine's millions of independent farmers - called kulaks - into collectivized Soviet agriculture, and to crush Ukraine's growing spirit of nationalism. Faced by resistance to collectivization, Stalin unleashed terror and dispatched 25,000 fanatical young party militants from Moscow - earlier versions of Mao's Red Guards - to force 10 million Ukrainian peasants into collective farms. Secret police units of OGPU began selective executions of recalcitrant farmers.
   When Stalin's red guards failed to make a dent in this immense number, OGPU was ordered to begin mass executions. But there were simply not enough Chekists (secret police) to kill so many people, so Stalin decided to replace bullets with a much cheaper medium of death - mass starvation. All seed stocks, grain, silage and farm animals were confiscated from Ukraine's farms. (Ethiopia's Communist dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam used the same method in the 1970s to force collectivization: the resulting famine cased one million deaths.) OGPU agents and Red Army troops sealed all roads and rail lines. Nothing came in or out of Ukraine. Farms were searched and looted of food and fuel. Ukrainians quickly began to die of hunger, cold and sickness.
   When OGPU failed to meet weekly execution quotas, Stalin sent henchman Lazar Kaganovitch to destroy Ukrainian resistance. Kaganovitch, the Soviet Eichmann, made quota, shooting 10,000 Ukrainians weekly. Eighty percent of all Ukrainian intellectuals were executed. A Ukrainian party member named Nikita Khruschchev helped supervise the slaughter.
   During the bitter winter of 1932-33, mass starvation created by Kaganovitch and OGPU hit full force. Ukrainians ate their pets, boots and belts, plus bark and roots.
    The precise number of Ukrainians murdered by Stalin's custom-made famine and Cheka firing squads remains unknown to this day. The KGB's archives, and recent work by Russian historians, show at least seven million died. Ukrainian historians put the figure at nine million, or higher.   Twenty-five percent of Ukraine's population was exterminated.
 Millions of victims Six million other farmers across the USSR were starved or shot during collectivization. Stalin told Winston Churchill he liquidated 10 million peasants  during the 1930s. Add mass executions by the Cheka in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; the genocide of three million Muslims in the USSR; massacres of Cossacks and Volga Germans and Soviet industrial genocide accounted for at least 40 million victims, not including 20 million war dead.
  Kaganovitch and many senior OGPU officers (later, NKVD) were Jewish. The predominance of Jews among Bolshevik leaders, and the frightful crimes and cruelty inflicted by Stalin's Cheka on Ukraine, the Baltic states and Poland, led the victims of Red Terror to blame the Jewish people for both communism and their suffering. As a direct result, during the subsequent Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe, the region's innocent Jews became the target of ferocious revenge by Ukrainians, Balts and Poles.
    While the world is by now fully aware of the destruction of Europe's Jews by the Nazis, the story of the numerically larger holocaust in Ukraine has been suppressed, or ignored. Ukraine's genocide occurred 8-9 years before Hitler began the Jewish Holocaust, and was committed, unlike Nazi crimes, before the world's gaze. But Stalin's  murder of millions was simply denied, or concealed by a left-wing conspiracy of silence that continues to this day. In the strange moral geometry of mass murder, only Nazis are guilty.
   Socialist luminaries like Bernard Shaw, Beatrice and Sidney Webb and PM Edouard Herriot of France, toured Ukraine during 1932-33 and proclaimed reports of famine  were false. Shaw announced: "I did not see one under-nourished person in Russia." New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his   Russian reporting, wrote claims of famine were "malignant propaganda." Seven million people were dying around them, yet these fools saw nothing. The New York Times has never repudiated Duranty's lies. Modern leftists do not care to be reminded their ideological and historical roots are entwined with this century's greatest crime - the inevitable result of enforced social engineering and Marxist theology.
    Western historians delicately skirt the sordid fact that the governments of Britain, the U.S. and Canada were fully aware of the Ukrainian genocide and Stalin's other monstrous crimes. Yet they eagerly welcomed him as an ally during World War II. Stalin, who Franklin Roosevelt called "Uncle Joe," murdered four times more peoplethan Adolf Hitler.
   None of the Soviet mass murderers who committed genocide were ever brought to justice. Lazar Kaganovitch died peacefully in Moscow a few years ago, still wearing his Order of the Soviet Union, and enjoying a generous state pension.
 

Mr.  Orosh's attached essay backfired.  Personally, I am struck by Stalin's great political skill and social awareness.  His ingenious methods of extermination fill me with nothing but admiration.
