We have added a new artefact to our website: a desk ornament - Mao with Lin Biao. Lin Biao was useful to Mao in the Cultural Revolution. He brought the support of the army and encouraged the Mao personality cult. He died in mysterious circumstances. museumofcommunistterror.com/mao-with-lin-b…
History of Central Eastern Europe with Russia:
"Two chunks of dried bread representing daily rations. A cloth harness used to move heavy stones in the quarry where prisoners were forced to work." DIY spaces of remembrance to be at the Bulgarian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…
This is a powerful depiction of what was called a "struggle session" during the Cultural Revolution in China. It should perhaps be more accurately called a "public torture session". It is from the "3 Body Problem" on Netflix. youtube.com/watch?v=aS8c6h…
A German says Hitler learned from Stalin and vice versa. From "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman, p386. In view of this passage and others, it is surprising the Grossman hoped Stalin would permit publication of the novel. Last in series of seven extracts.
A snapshot of what it is like to be deported. Stalin deported millions to remote, hostile places to enforce socialism and defeat any possible opposition. From "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman, p299. Sixth in a series of excerpts.
The leading character, Viktor Shtrum, criticises himself for his risky joke about Stalin. And yet he loves the truth. From "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman, p273. Fifth in a series of excerpts.
The constant fear that a word out of place might get you denounced, interrogated and sent to prison or the Gulag. From "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman, p272. The reason "they all confess" is that they are tortured and their family is threatened. 4th in a series of excerpts.
Explaining why the command economy in the Soviet Union did not work well. From "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman, p263. Third in a series of excerpts.
Do human beings lose their yearning for freedom under totalitarian rule? From "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman, p200. This is the second in a series of excerpts.
Mocking communist propaganda about the famine in the Soviet Union. From "Life and Fate" (p93, Vintage Classics edition) by Vasily Grossman, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers on the Soviet Union. We will publish several excerpts in the coming two weeks.
Poland is still finding the bodies of its resistance fighters murdered by the communists after the Second World War. Stanislaw Stankiewicz, murdered in 1947 was buried y-day. His body was found in 2021. His 93-year-old son Tadeusz, a Righteous Among the Nations, was present.
We should remember - and remind others more often - of the scale of the threat to us and the depths of the suffering endured by generations in those countries which found themselves enslaved by the Soviet system. Perhaps on occasion we might remember too that those who promoted…

Today marks two years of Russia's war against Ukraine. I thank Ukrainians for their tireless fight for freedom and for protecting peace in Moldova too. In these two years, the free world has shown unprecedented solidarity, yet the war persists; our support must endure fiercely.
Interesting aspect of the Russification of Twitter is the distinct rise in Holodomor denial. Same thing happened on LiveJournal just before it suddenly switched to Russian only interfaces. Be vigilant for that. Anyone who denies the Holodomor is a Russian bot.

A @bbcworldservice programme replays anti-Vietnam-War songs. Plenty of coverage of U.S. government and army in the worst possible light. No mention that North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam. No mention of Communist mass killings and torture. Unbalanced. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…
People killed in public were buried in secret: between 18 and 20 December 1970, the communist authorities of the coastal cities of Gdańsk and Gdynia interred the victims of army and Citizens' Militia brutality on the quiet. The same procedure would be used in Szczecin.
"Communism, like fascism, involved the attempt to create a mass popular movement and a state bound together under the rule of a single party, in which there will be total cohesion around a common goal. It involved the elimination of opposition, by whatever means"

@Roger_Moorhouse @CommunistTerror Thanks. It was interesting to see it recorded the deportation settlements on the banks of the Yenisei reasonably accurately while wrongly placing the river elsewhere. I’ve sailed N. past them on a passenger ferry - 1300kms from Krasnoyarsk to where I got off. Quite a trip!
@GilesUdy @CommunistTerror given that it cites them as MWD camps - it would date from between 1946 and '54.
