A Little-Known Trauma: Malenki Robot — Marking the Memorial Day for the Victims of Communist Dictatorships

Many of those deported did not even make it alive to their destination, but died on the way to the Soviet Union. These people were not even registered, so there is no information about how many they were. The purpose of their abduction was to rebuild the Soviet infrastructure that had been practically destroyed in the war, so to use them for free slave labour.

OPINION

Communist Dictatorships Deprive Nations of Their History

Secondhand Time by Alexievich: The Chronicles of the Demise of the USSR
REVIEW

Secondhand Time by Alexievich: The Chronicles of the Demise of the USSR

Secondhand Time by Noble laureate Svetlana Alexievich is a powerful account of what Russians really think about the demise of the USSR. The views on the collapse of the regime are revealed to be much more complex and varied than what the overused media catchphrases ‘nostalgia’ and ‘sentimentalism’ suggest.

The Structural Failures of Planned Economies III – Living Standards in the Soviet Union

Although it always comes as a shock for people from Central Eastern Europe who lived through state socialism, nowadays in the West there are increasingly more young people who identify as Marxists or even Communists.
