When I saw 'Dr Zhivago' in 1965 I was confused. 60 years later I started reading Neal Stephenson's new novel 'Polostan' and I'm still confused although I've read a lot more history in the meantime. My main takeaway is the Soviets were good at eating their own be they Cossack or kulaks, and other random victims like the Polish officer corps at Katyn Forest. Years ago I read Kuznetsov's book, 'Babi Yar'. iirc some of the Ukrainians in Kiev liked a good massacre too. Some of that history came back to light in connection with the Azov Brigade's history.
