This horrible interview with Stephen Cohen illustrates the extent to which Russia has been more or less conquered by the United States. Playing into the hands of those who claim Stalin was worse than Hitler, Russian media now broadcasts the lie that Stalin killed tens of millions of people. In this case the number given is 20 million people. These estimates are based on the claim Stalin was responsible for the Holodomor. This is the belief that Stalin intentionally created a famine in the Ukraine. These propositions are parroted without any consideration being given to the counter arguments.
The Counter arguments of Michael Parenti and Grover Furr
Grover Furr has done a great deal of work on these topics. His work elucidates the fact that the claims that Stalin killed millions of people lacks evidence. Furr used documents from the Soviet Union's archives to show that the best estimate for deaths in the Gulag stands at around 600,000. This is a far cry from tens of millions. Michael Parenti has pointed out that Stalin did not construct death camps with poison gas showers and crematoria. The equivocation of Hitler with Stalin has no basis in fact. But, it does show the desperation on the part of capitalist historians to excuse Hitler's crimes by making them seem like they pale in comparison to Stalin's.
RT Behaves Like A CIA Black Propaganda Operation
Interviews such as this one and the endless parade of CIA and American Military officials on RT lends credence to the proposition that RT is a Black Propaganda Operation. The Russians have more or less been conquered by the United States. The Russians have been selling their warheads to the United States for the last 20 years. In secret they may very well have been completely disarmed. The Soviets called it quits after being completely encircled by American military bases and enduring Space Based weapons being placed above them. The Soviet leadership lived with the knowledge that they could be wiped out at any moment without any ability to respond. The Russian leadership lives with this same reality. It is because they have been completely conquered that the Russian ruling class has to genuflect and present propaganda painting Stalin as being worse than Hitler, the ultimate villain of Russian history. According to bourgeois historians this is how Stalin should be remembered. They don't want you to see Stalin as the man that industrialized the Soviet Union and defeated Hitler.
Why Are Americans Still Being Brainwashed With Anti-Communist Propaganda?
The reason why we are still being hit with this kind of propaganda has to do with the fact that the American ruling class does not want the lower classes to have a good opinion of communism. This is why I led this post with that quote from Plato.
