Eating Over The Bones At Stalin Killing Field?


A small number of activists have been picketing a restaurant that opened near the site of a mass grave in Belarus.

Wooden crosses are scattered among the fir trees in this verdant patch of land outside the Belarusian capital, Minsk.

They commemorate up to a quarter of a million people who perished here, shot dead by the dreaded Soviet secret police from 1937 to 1941 during Stalin's Great Terror.

Seven decades later, Kurapaty has also become a place where people can "Let's Go And Eat," sparking outrage among activists and Belarusian citizens who see the nearby opening of a restaurant by that name as a disrespectful attempt to erase the past.

We always hear about Hitler's atrocities, even those by Pol Pot and Imperial Japan and Rwanda too. We don't hear enough about what the Soviets and especially Stalin did. 

Yes, we do hear about the Holodomor, we hear as a general term of Stalin's purges, of the gulags and so on.  Red Terror, hear about that too.

Between Stalin and the Nazis,  Belarus is one huge graveyard.

If you ever saw the movie "Idi i Smotri", which took place in Belarus,  they mentioned that the Nazis wiped out over 600 villages in Belarus.
