American Kulak said... Also this, from a fanatically pro-Kiev anti-Russia source:
 * Did Strelkov's Men Really Execute 14 People in Slovyiansk?
 * Interesting piece. From the details there, I had to leave this comment:
 * Hmmm... less like Soviet purges, then, and more like the Libyans murdered mostly "for their cars," almost all black-skinned, killed by fleeing loyalists, executed and dumped around Tripoli in August 2011, as rebels overran it. Interesting. --Caustic Logic (talk) 13:22, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
