Re: Query from a Venezuelan

Jim,

I think Michael is right, discussions about Stalin have been done to
death....so to speak.

What is important is that most people in the USSR did support the regime
most of the time. It may not have lived up to the stated intention to
abolish the state, but it is that "stated" which is crucial for definitional
purposes.

regards,

Grant.
