Dear
readers of the blog!
This
time we do not want just to inform you about our next
press release. But also show some reactions on our perspective in
Russia.
We
put information about our
project and the results into the web side of ”Young Memorial”. -
This is a part of the “Memorial” society in Perm/Russia which
gathers young volunteers for different activities of the society.
Through this step we decided to draw attention of young people who
read this side to the problems of the Soviet deportations and
remembering of it in Russia. We wanted also to show that there were
other nationalities which suffered under Stalin regime.
Generally,
the topic of repressions during those times is in Russian not
popular. In spite of it we followed this unpopular path.
An
author
who signed himself as a teacher of history has accused us of
one-sided angle of our results (partially it was just generally a
criticism on the society Memorial but also on the perspective we have
chosen). In the eyes of this teacher we should have dedicated our
attention to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
Somebody
else put his criticism in an ironical way: well, a publication for
money of the German friends.
Frankly,
I
expected such responses. Now I am curious to learn about your
opinion.
Best
regards,
Maciej
