Mass grave of Stalin foes unearthed
« on: June 16, 2010, 01:59:47 PM »
We often hear about construction crews digging up American Indian sites or old settlements, but in Russia something else was unearthed by crews building a road - a grave from the 1930s containing approximately 500 bodies, people who were killed by the Stalinist regime.  Gruesome...some of the executed may have relatives still living.

500 shot in Stalin cops' mass grave
"Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses" ~Juvenal

I would not be surprised if they find even more that we just never hear about.  Nobody knows exactly how many people Stalin had put to death during his regime.
