Not as such.  Stalin declared murder to be an exclusively capitalist disease.  Since there can be no capitalists in the Soviet worker's paradise, there could be no murders. All deaths were officially declared accidental, the result of natural causes, or committed by mental defectives (not technically 'murder').

Then again, Stalin was a grade A tool.

Grade A tools the world over have just been hideously offended.

Did you know that Lucasfilm owes its success to the Devil?

Back in the early to mid seventies, a "Rosemary's Baby" style screenplay that had been bouncing around Hollywood landed on the desk of Alan Ladd Jr, then head of 20th Century Fox, after being rejected by every other studio. Fox at that time was in a financial slump and in danger of going under. Ladd decided to take a chance and greenlighted the film.

Some sequences in the script were shot on location in a real hospital. The expectant mothers in the maternity ward there objected to the numerous signs put up advising that filming was taking place of this new movie, "The Birthmark", as they felt it was too much of an omen.

So the title was changed to "The Omen", and did so well at the box office that it revived Fox's flagging fortunes. So much so that Ladd felt the studio was in a good enough shape to be able to handle another poison script that had been doing the rounds of Hollywood - a little science fiction romp you may have heard about, called "The Star Wars".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm always puzzled when people point out the IRA atrocities and give a pass to those committed by the Unionist para groups. Why should ANY group that goes about planting bombs, shooting civilians and using power drills to kneecap people be given approval?

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

How about a lesser being too ?
