We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

“Jews Murdered Stalin!” I don’t read cyrillic script, but I’m I’m told that this link takes one to a book by Yuri Muchin which is about the “murder” by “the Jews” of Beria and Stalin.
All I can say is, if it is true, where do I send my check to the global Zionist conspiracy. It is hard to think of a greater service to mankind.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

I’m on a couple of BBSs with some Russians. I’ll put it to them.
How about Sasha Volokh? I’ll e-mail a link.
You can translate the first part from Russki to Angliskii at http://www.babelfish.altavista.com
Unfortunately, much like me, babelfish gives up after a few hundred words. Eto screed skuchnee chem Steven den Besta.
Here’s my rough translation (not sure of all the details — for instance, “the cover of the plot of the Jewish version” down below may be saying that the Jewish plot took the heat off the real plotters’ plot, I’m not sure):
That Stalin was killed, in the best case, by denial of aid, and that Beria was lured into an ambush and killed with no trial, has long been known. Khrushchev, essentially, never hid this from the West. Only the Soviet people were and are “taken for fools.”
But in this matter even Western historians were unclear on the motives of the killings. The standard explanation — “they were struggling for power” — explains everything and nothing. The direct killers of Stalin and Beria had more than enough power, and moreover, the day before the killings they were even more elevated in the eyes of the nation and the world: Malenkov, not Stalin, read the current report at the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and Khrushchev read the main report of the Congress — the report on the change of regulations of the CPSU. Why did they nonetheless turn to killing? Why did the whole party and government elite of the USSR cover up these killings? What was its collective interest in these killings?
In the book, not only are the motives of the killings and the actual killers uncovered, but also all the stages of the plot of the elite against the Soviet people are shown: the rallying and defeat of the plotters in the ’30s, a new rallying after World War II, the cover of the plot of the Jewish version (“the affair of the doctors”), the killing of the leaders of the Soviet people and, finally, the full victory of the plotters over the people in 1991. The complicated position in which the victorious elite of the CPSU in Russia and the CIS found itself — even having unlimited power over the population and fabulous sums of money stolen from the people of the USSR — is shown.
For historians, political scientists, students of historical specialties, and all those interested in history.
Well, my curiousity is certainly piqued now…
Thanks, Sasha; send Antoine the bill. 🙂
Does Stalin ordering the rounding up of Jews through out all of the Soviet Union ring a bell? It has been said that he did it to start another World War with the West while he was still ahead in the arms race, and that alone provides enough reason, in my opinion, for a war weary government to knock off a genocidal mad man and cover the whole thing up. it also explains why the men to take charge after him where so quick to denounce him.
