Please, please, do not lump Stalin with Hitler. Stalin was so much greater than Hitler. Hitler only killed his enemies.

Well, it could be argued that Hitler was pretty much Xenophobic, so his friends became his enemies, thus when he killed them he was not killing his friends at all, only his former friends. Interesting point about Stalin, though. It makes me wonder why people don't speak as badly about him.

I think most of it comes from the fact that most Westerners are unable to connect with the holocaust in Russia, whereas the Nazi regime is far, far closer to home. Hence why more emphasis is place upon the German holocaust and why less people seem to mention the atrocities of the Soviet in places like the US.

Of course, this is just a vague theory...

Anyhow, this video really does not seem at all real to me. Is there any other documentation regarding this incident besides these two videos? The first link seemed more like an attempt to show why religion was stupid.
