Stalin

Hi,

I cannot disagree with your position. I myself created a big number of articles about Soviet repressive system. See Category:Soviet political repressions, since you are declaring "Persecution of occupied peoples, mass deportations, massacres, genocides, mass rapes, Gulag concentration camps etc.". In particular, do you have any information about treatment of Hungarians and Romaninans by NKVD, see Mass operations of the NKVD?

However it is very easy to go over the board whed expression an opinon. Please read carefully wikipedia's policy Neutral point of view. As for Stalin, everything you wanted to say is already said in many articles, with concrete references and facts.

Don't worry, Stalin is rolling in his grave.

On the other hand, I think that Hungarian history is covered much less, and it is great to have a new contributor in this area. It is much more important to have an encyclopedia of concrete facts of history than to spend time thinking how to curse, say, Stalin, in the best way. Facts are the best accusor. Besides, if everything is blamed on Stalin, one tends to forget that there were thousands of people who gladly and zealously put his policies forth. Unlike Nazis, they are not put to trial AFAIK, with rare exception of Baltic States. Are you aware of trials of former Stalinists in Hungary?
