East Bloc and China Mao Zedong

China Mao Zedong: But many of the second wave, who lived under Soviet, East Bloc, Chinese, North Korean, Cambodian and Cuban regimes after the Second World War, remember the repression clearly, according to Toronto Star. They’re now a formidable group in Canada. The memories of communism first-wave victims — those who survived Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin labour camps, assassination orders and mass starvation, and the millions of deaths under China Mao Zedong — are now few and faint. Ukrainian, Polish and Hungarian Canadians alone make up at least 3.5 million of Canada 35 million citizens. They are a driving force behind the most contentious monument in Ottawa modern history: the proposed Memorial to the Victims of Communism, set to be installed on one of the capital most conspicuous pieces of real estate, near the Library and Archives and the Supreme Court of Canada. Combined with others who have ties in communist countries, they may number more than eight million. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
