re: #631 Sergey Romanov
When there is evidence of an analog as specified above, I will revise my conclusion.
It took Khrushchev twenty years to even admit to the purges of the Soviet elite to Soviet elite, behind closed doors. Nevermind the NKVD mass operations. Without fall of the Soviet Union and the opening of the archives, we still would largely rely on making sense of propaganda and counter-propaganda.
