He's not dead because the US government desperately wants the Ukrainians to eat McDonald's and watch reruns of Friends.<br /><br />And this "hero" seems to have been guilty of war crimes, including torturing and executing captured Ukrainian soldiers.<br /><br />"n April 2015, the Kyiv Post released a recording in which Pavlov discussed killing fifteen Ukrainian prisoners of war.[18] Amnesty International said it was a "chilling ‘confession’", which alongside other evidence, "highlights the urgent need for an independent investigation into this and all other allegations of abuses".[19] He has been linked to war crimes, namely the execution of captured prisoners of war, a crime he reportedly confessed to in a telephone interview with a Russian reporter in April 2015. Motorola and his battalion are also accused of torturing captured Ukrainian soldiers. After Ukrainian soldier Ihor Branovytsky had been captured near Donetsk and was in custody of Pavlov's group, Pavlov is alleged to have deliberately killed the prisoner on 21 January 2015 with two headshots"<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsen_Pavlov#War_crimesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-8305009334565257242016-10-21T13:03:14.889+13:002016-10-21T13:03:14.889+13:00"Are you denying, Andrei, that neither Lenin ...<i>"Are you denying, Andrei, that neither Lenin nor Stalin were in any way complicit in the organised starvation of peoples under their power?"</i><br /><br />I don't believe it was a deliberate policy or a genocide particularly targeting Ukrainians - no I don't<br /><br />The Ukrainian SSR was run by Ukrainians who also were a big part of the central Government of the USSR and the famine was fairly wide ranging, also seen in the Kuban, North Caucasus and Kazakhstan<br /><br />And I don't believe the Bengal famine of 1943 which killed 3,000,000 Indians when the British took 60% of India's harvests to feed their home population and their armies was a deliberate policy to kill Indians either and that happened as well<br /><br />I do believe that over eighty years after this event occurred it is being used to create division and disharmony among people and has been selectively been rewritten to accomplish thisAndreinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-34324529916555652492016-10-21T12:13:44.371+13:002016-10-21T12:13:44.371+13:00If I may: Malcolm Muggeridge's autobiography i...If I may: Malcolm Muggeridge's autobiography is helpful here.<br />As a convinced socialist from Cambridge in the 1930s, he goes to USSR, writes stuff home ...

It's not my narrative, it's the memory of the Ukrainian people and the research of historians.<br /><br />And I am intimately familiar with the history of the Great Depression in the USA, and that event does not come remotely close to the millions who were starved to death under Stalin's leadership.<br /><br />You're narrative seems to be that Russia never does anything wrong, and never has anything to repent of, while using dubious conspiracy theories to accuse the West and the USA of every crime imaginable and in the harshest terms possible. It's hardly surprising that people who may have a more balanced view of history are inclined to question that narrative.
