When Russia and China have freed their monsters?

DEVELOPMENTS

Mass murderer Mao and Stalin continue to have a detrimental effect on their country. If the Germans woke up one morning, found in the heart of a thriving democratic Berlin, a huge portrait of Hitler, Germany would be terribly outraged. But China, a country that has become much freer and richer than ever, still thinks portrait of Mao, one of the most brutal tyrants in history, the central exhibit at Tiananmen Square. In Hitler's war, a total of ruined 35 million lives of soldiers and civilians. Mao starved and killed twice . However, they were his own people, but with this condition, the Chinese had to be doubly opposed to placing his portrait in the central square. Meanwhile, in Russia, and the image of Stalin's activity gradually rehabilitated. Some of the truth was expressed in the famous diatribe Khrushchev in 1956, but, nevertheless, international action Stalin often referred to as a patriotic field. Until now, the Russians are in no hurry to make a connection between the gulag in their homeland and an aggressive foreign policy: the Comintern, created to In order to promote a revolution of the Soviet type in the world, the invasion of Finland, the Baltic countries and in Poland at the beginning of the war and the brutal subjugation of Eastern Europe. The man who killed his best senior generals on the eve of the Nazi invasion, which refused to believe, that the Nazis had invaded the territory of the country, it is portrayed as the savior of the nation. He spent a tough internal policies and ruthless diplomacy, a vivid example of which is the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939. At the same time, increasingly it argued that it was necessary to defend the country from German - fascist hordes. It is true that Stalin and Mao managed to make their country strong and make the rest of the world to reckon with them. When a ruthless dictatorship, these things can be done, Hitler worked wonders for the German economy in the 30s, it has reached incredible heights. But ongoing totalitarianism cost Russia buried in the ground and the deformed spirit of the people. In China, as a result of "the Great Leap Forward, Mao" (40 million dead), and then the Cultural Revolution, the country is impoverished. The terrible Kolyma Stalin's labor camps was a huge amount of people who are constantly dying of hunger and cold, their frozen corpses were hung and hung in this state until the thaw to possible fingerprints. In the remote provinces of China, as a result of hunger, arranged Mao's mother exchanged children to not have their own.Today, when the Russians and the Chinese have full access to information about their monsters, why their governments are in no hurry to tell the truth ? The answer is simple: The government has never been profitable inflame tensions and provoke division, which may result from this is true, and in many cases people do not tend to recognize her. However, in China, the official position of the state, approved in 1993, Deng Xiaoping, It states that the policy of Mao was 70 percent right and 30 -nepravilnoy. Under pressure from the victims of the Cultural Revolution for greater integrity, he noted that this is not the exact percentage, but limited "situation." And the situation is that the less educated Chinese population may be nostalgic for the era of Mao and the "iron rice bowl", and that in the future may be at risk of displacement leading to the leadership position of the Communist Party. In Russia there is a sense of movement back. The era of Stalin and unusually takes alarmingly high position in the results of a national survey on the topic of the most significant dates in the history of the state. In connection with the refusal of President Putin this week to condemn him for the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact, we should remember that 61 percent of Russians do not know that the Russian troops invaded Poland on September 17, 1939, a few weeks after its signing. But many people do not want to know.
