okay so how do you defend your boys and Stalin? I'm curious because as a historian it's very hard to praise them

      lol, found a longer bit of the relevant clip

      edit: after she talks about how theres only one train and one station she then immediately starts talking about how all the train stations all have piles of bodies next to them

      she starts talking a bit later about a boy who was so malnourished that his organs and intestines started hanging out of holes in his body because thats just what happens when youre really malnourished but he was still alive and begging for food and this was so normal that she felt nothing

      and at the hospital they only have one needle that they use to inject all the patients, and they dont have an indoor toilet so the patients have to go out the back and poop outside next to the big pile of dead human bodies that have rats eating their eyes and children chasing the rats to eat

      and in earthquakes they all run inside to their kitchen so they can die with food in their stomach

        This all sounds like some old wives' tale or urban myth that parents tell their kids to behave like Hansel and Gretel. I can just imagine a kid whining on a long trip and their mom saying that they're lucky they don't have to push a train like in North Korea.
