In the last few days it has been reported by western intelligence that President Putin is now micromanaging the war in Ukraine and that his generals are playing second fiddle.
If that be the case he is once again doing exactly what Hitler did.
It so happens on this day in 1942 the Soviet Union began deporting Crimean Tartars to the then Uzbek SSR. It was carried out by Laverenity Beria, head of the feared Soviet secret police. He did it acting on behalf of Stalin.
Nearly 8,000 Crimean Tatars died during the deportation, while tens of thousands perished subsequently due to the harsh exile conditions.
