"Stalinist 'Shooting' Lists" were not lists of persons "to be shot" at all. The lists give the sentences that the prosecution would seek if the individual was convicted - that is, the sentence the prosecution would ask the court to apply. In reality these were lists sent to Stalin (and other Politburo or Secretariat members) for "review" ­
(rassmotrenie) - a word that is used many times in the introduction to the lists.

uh

@Deleted User If that happens

Once Beria took over the NKVD, the "astonishing liberalism" that was instituted immediately. Torture ended, and inmates received privileges again. Ezhov's men were removed from office, many of them tried and convicted of rcpressions. Arrests dropped hugely, by over 90%, in 1939 and 1940 in comparison to 1937 and 1 938. Executions in 1939 and 1940 dropped to far less than 1% of the levels of mass executions in 1937 and 1938. Beria took over as head of the N KVD in December, 1938, so this corresponds precisely with Beria's period in command.
It was during the Beria years that trials and executions of men convicted of illegal repressions, mass killings, torture, and falsifications took place. Many - certainly more than 100,000 - persons wrongly repressed were
released from GULAG camps and prisons.

Why do you want communism?

@KoalaBear fascism sucks

but i'd prefer anything over communism

lo

well met

I'm undecided

Help me find my view?

well you want this put in simple terms

capitalism is the only system that works

it has been proven to work throughout history

the reason it's starting to suck now is because of increased government intervention

Well, you don't have to explain that to me

whatever government can do, the free market can do better

I'm not a moron

well then we're okay

Is there such a thing as nationalistic-democracy?

Soo we all agree that communism solves everything?

nationalistic democracy

yes there is such a thing

why would there not

a nation doesn't have to have a supreme leader to be nationalistic
