Sometimes I wonder what did I learn in history class?
Removed by modWhat?? You are telling me Stalin executed Nazis instead of giving them jobs in the administration? And that was during wartime? No wonder the USSR were the bad guys...
Stalin kept them alive so he could show up unannounced on moonless nights and dramatically reap their souls with scythe-like sweeps of his giant spoon.
What? This is complete lie?
The death penalty for capital crimes was reinstated for peacetime in 1950 under Stalin. It was for treason, espionage, terrorism, first degree murder, and “economic crimes” (corruption, fraud by officials, bribery, and smuggling).
It was extended to aggravated murder or murder with aggravating circumstances in 1954, that’s the only thing that happened in 1954.
@pipedpiper@lemmygrad.ml what is your source for the claim in the screenshot?
