  • Having visited the Staliningrad museum today and read Beevor's "Staliningrad" in anticipation I think it would be worth while going, and yes I agree to keep my opinions to myself. One is treading on eggshells here, and Russians still have not come to terms with what they were doing in 1939 and 1940 and to that extent, how much of the tragedy of Staliningrad Stalin and the NKVD actually brought on their own people.
