Brickbat: Russian Purge

Scaliger / Dreamstime

Russia has deported Polish historian Henryk Glebocki. The Federal Security Service detained him and removed him from the country a day after he gave a lecture on the fate of Polish citizens during the Stalinist purges of the late 1930s.

The situation there seems to be worsening; I doubt they would have done this in, say, the 1960s.

Any country that has a national soup made from beets is pure evil.
