There are many disturbing similarities between the brutality imposed on Stalin’s victims and the injustices endured by the incarcerated in federal and state prisons.
This was such a moving piece to read. What you are doing with your prison students is such important work. I am happy for Luis and his family I just wish all his fellow students could be home for the holidays. Our system is every bit as cruel and broken as the Soviet gulags.
I am 74 and they say I am autistic. I remember Aleksander I share the name. I know Vermont and remember. There was a time when Aleksander was a bad Russian and a good American. Those days are gone we are all good Russians or we are traitors.
