      Regarding your first point, classified CIA documents don’t usually get released to the public until decades after they were made. After all, the Soviet Union also didn’t exist in 2007 and the quote is using the present tense.

      To your second point, that’s a can of worms I’m too tired to go into, but someone else here might take you up on that.

      The document itself is from the 1970s, it was declassified in 2007. You can read more about Stalin’s purposeful starvation to supress opposition here.

      Um…

      Nothing but Redditese tends to follow that kind of opener.

      I must be missing something clever in this post.

      There it is. jagoff
