Repris de Memorial (Russie)

La conspiration du silence autour des crimes communistes fait que cette information n'est pas diffusée par les média et encore par les historiens, ceux qui s'indignent contre Bush, voient des fascistes partout, ces imposteurs de l'antifascisme.

Soulignons le courage de ceux qui luttent pour que la vérité enfin soient faites autour de la construction du socialisme en Russie et dans les états colonies de l'URSS.
