STALIN REGILDED IN PUTIN'S RUSSIA by Laigueglia's scholar Casalino Pierluigi on the web

As a victor in the second world war, Russia was never forced to reject Stalinism  in the way in the way that Germany was forced to reject Nazism, even though the two regimes had much in common. In an insult to millions of Stalin's victims, the Kremlin has recently called Memorial, a long established human-rights organisation set up to draw attention to Stalin regime's crimes, a foreign agent - a synonym of traitor.
