    I am honestly surprised it took this long, I had just assumed he was already disappeared after they banned the communist party from existing.

    and prevented any teaching about the positive aspects of Soviet history in schools.

    Yet when I was a kid I was still being taught how positive slavery was in the US, and how people were actually better off as slaves than free. (That school thankfully is now a parking lot, which is all it deserves). Very happy to have left that country when I was young.
