Regarding your latest masterpiece: As promising as it is to see that the word “apologist” has finally entered your vocabulary, I want to point that it is you, in fact, who’s playing this role — specifically, of a Nazi apologist. Those depictions of “endlessly overflowing basement interrogation cells” (wait, did someone just say “Abu Ghraib?”) and “forcibly collectivized” farms are powerful, of course, but somehow this just doesn’t compare to the tens of millions killed by the Nazis, I am sorry.
p>Perhaps you should tell your readers about the SS memorials the Estonians erect when they’re not too busy hating everything Russian — I’d like to see you spin that one! Oh, and by the way, your level of Russophobia is bordering on pathological, too. Too much time spent at the “occupation museum”? br> — Alexandre Renaud /p>
