Great text for greater lies
`I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various 'party lines'. Yet in a way, horrible as all this was, it was unimportant.

My gran grandfather died 15 years ago. And there is no week without he screams in his dreams about his sisters and mother being raped by the "bolsheviks."
Then once all his family were killed, he escaped, went to the port, and decided to work as a maritime merchant.
It wasn't a war between "left" or right as we have with partisan politics. But it was war between:

Several countries later fall to the communist regime and USRR influence, causing misery and death.
This was not your neighbor discussing or putting signs from your opposite candidate. It was war, with blood, rape, and destruction.

Note: The embassy of Spain once offered him a travel to Spain because he was one of the oldest on the local community.
He declined because his Spain was "dead" and he wanted to keep the things still alive in his mind.
