The stone from the Solovetsky Camp, one of the Gulag labour camps which operated in the early years of the Soviet Union, was installed as a memorial to the victims of political repression near a building of former NKVD secret service in 1990.

WNU Editor: The AP report is here .... Victims of Soviet repressions remembered in memorial (AP).

Every Russian has a family member, a friend, an acquaintance, .... who can repeat a story of someone who suffered during this time. I know in my case I have dozens. And while there are still some survivors .... I know that they are not going to live long enough to see justice. But I also know that there will be an accounting one day .... as well as a suitable memorial to the tens of millions who died .... but that is not going to happen today.

Update: I completely disagree with the following Guardian commentary .... Russia's Gulag camps cast in forgiving light of Putin nationalism (Shaun Walker, The Guardian). Russians are not "casting a forgiving light" of the Gulags .... it is like Americans forgiving slavery because of the current state of American nationalism .... logic and common sense dictates otherwise. The dark part of our pasts are separate issues from today's current events, and they should be remembered and treated as such.

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.

"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"

The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life.

What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.

Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.

Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)

LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.

Have a beautiful Week !
