BBC NEWS | Europe | Huge cross marks Stalin purges
Yulia Shcherbakova - now in her 70s - wanted to explain her personal tie to Stalin's terror.
"It's terrifying to think back. I remember people in our small house being arrested - people who lived below and above," she told the BBC.
"I was seven when my neighbour, a priest, was taken away - he disappeared without a trace. And everyone was afraid to mention his name."
Never forget, always remember that Stalin and Communism killed more than the Nazis.

kind of flawed logic to say that communism killed these people. do people ever say national socialism killed the jews? i see the connection certainly but it is sort of overreaching.
