Katyn Forest
Sir, —Further to Murray Richard Inwood’s letter (March 25), the Soviet apologists mutilate truth when they attempt to justify an ideology responsible for the deaths of millions, and a catalogue of crimes unique in human history. Terror and liquidation have marked each and every one of the long and tragic list of nations that have lost their liberty to Marxism. Always, communism has produced its inevitable and-identical fruit. Always, the social, political and economic life of the victim nation has been disfigured beyond recognition. Ignorance is no longer an excuse to champion this tyrannical ideology. Irrefutable evidence is available to all who are capable of rational thinking that the Marxian promise of a workers’ paradise has turned inexorably into a nightmare of scarcity, economic stagnation, discontent, slave labour and torture. — Yours, etc., BILL BARRY. March 27, 1989.
