on the possible eve of a possible invasion of Ukraine
by Russia
I watched a flabby, Hollywoody film
(Munich: On the Edge) about the invasion of Czechoslovakia
by Hitler.
There have been so many books and films about Hitler,
the Rise of Hitler and the Nazis,
but so few films about Stalin,
the Rise of Stalin and his creation of a totalitarian state
much larger and even worse than that of Germany.
But, in the appalling long run - for the survivors -
Hitler did the Jews a good turn
by legitimising Zionism,
while Stalin merely won the war in the East.

Is Putin doing the same as Khrushchev when he sent missiles to Cuba ? And what about Georgia ?
I have been reading about Ossetia. It has (or the Ossetians have) always been pro-Russian. They moved into Ingushetia when Stalin deported the Ingush and Chechens to Kazakhstan.
Both Yeltsin and Putin supported the South Ossetians against Georgia.
And what about Dagestan.
Beria was an Ingush, I think. No, he was Mingrelian from South Ossetia.
Yours ever, nobody from nowhere...
