No. You don't. If you want more people to hear about it, post about it. My opinion, anyways.

No doubt there was a lot of crying out about injustice and such, but you also have to remember that Stalin did this quietly. He did not announce, like Hitler, that he was attempting to cleanse the world of the Jewish people, or anything like that. The quieter they keep it, the less other people will notice it.

There was not constant media about it, as there was through the second world war daily. Stalin was never really noticed, all they looked at was corrupt workings, not the death toll slowly climbing.
