Efforts to canonise the former Soviet Union's greatest butcher appear strangely reminiscent of the popular press' glowing praise of Mary-Jo Kopechne's killer.
In a country where deflection and denial are the norm when speaking about communism's grand failures, this form of Holocaust denial truly takes the cake.
Alas, we live in an era where this kind of talk is accepted at face-value. Soon, there will be no such things as human rights abuses or genocides. It will all be a matter of perspective. The devil will have succeeded in hiding his existence from the world.
