So far, so good...
At Hortlund there are no proofs of his statements, that Russian made crimes in the same sizes, as nazis, and also (sic!), that it there was a policy of the state, instead of individual initiative of the separate people. Therefore its words are the insult and slander.
My english must be quite bad because what I read here is that you say there is no proof of the soviet acts of barbarism during and after WWII?
Yah, sure...see, 30's stalin purgues, you've got a place to start looking for crimes commited by the soviet union-
Do you recall what does the word "gulag" means?
Do you recall what was Katyn?
Do you recall how were the multiple etnic groups of Eastern Europe handled by the Soviet Union since they were reconquered?
Nuremberg was a trial wich fairly sent many nazi criminals to their deaths, or to prison, and which set many good precedents on what was NOT going to be allowed...
But it was also a joke which left many criminals free. Most exactly, all those who played on the allied side during WWII (starting from Harris or LeMay, and finishing with STALIN himself).
There were loads of SS officers sent to death after nuremberg (rightly so)...how many NKVD officers met the same fate ?
