Stalin, stalinism and Armenian


Guest

Recommended Posts

Gentlemen, ladies,

 

I recently watched a documentary about Stalinism in Armenia. This is a topic that has always interested me. But being a second generation diaspora Armenian I have had very limited access to this period. I know this might be a painful topic, but I would be very curious to hear any opinions, impressions, experiences on that phase. Thank you.

Boghos, I have an impression that there is no specifically Armenian expression of Stalinism, even though it was present in Armenia. There is an opinion that Stalin hated Armenians. I tend to disagree with this. I think he didn't hate Armenians any more than any others, even though one may argue that he was the main driving force behind the mutilation of Eastern Armenia’s geographic integrity, among other things.
