Thank you for this excellent analysis from Prof. Naimark. It is very important. It supplements the work of Timothy Snyder and Anne Applebaum.

Perhaps he should back up and explain what is NOT "genocide" since he is using it interchangeably with "war" and "murder," and if it is all, then it is nothing.

If everything is "genocide," then nothing is.
