Just saw a documentary about Stalin on American History Channel
As a Ukrainian American I always knew the history of Stalin's terrors against my people but now I see a lot of parallels between Stalin & Trump: the changes in the administration makeup (putting in Bannon) and the retreats to the dacha (Trump tower), and feeling like you're over your head (yes, Stalin was always paranoid he'd be found out). The only thing we haven't seen yet are the killing squads and I pray we won't.
I may be over-stating my fear but I'm not so sure anymore.
