The Obama Regime seems to be getting its wish: a reset with Russia, or at least a reset in Russia. The only problem is, things appear to be resetting back to the 1950s. But don't worry: Obama style international diplomacy worked really well in dealing with Stalinist Russia.
The Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev... in May set up a new state commission to prevent what he called the ''falsification of history''... A Russian historian investigating the fate of Germans imprisoned in the Soviet Union during World War II has been arrested in an apparent clampdown on research into the Stalin era by the Russian authorities... Russia's FSB intelligence agency also arrested a police official who handed Professor Suprun material from the local Interior Ministry archive... Professor Suprun had been carrying out research into Germans sent to Russia's Arctic gulags. A historian at Pomorskiy University in Arkhangelsk, he was looking at German prisoners of war captured by the Red Army as well as Russian-speaking ethnic Germans, many from southern Russia, deported by Stalin. Both groups ended up in camps in Arkhangelsk.
