Stalin's doctors are mentioned to refute the accusation that Stalin was antisemitic. The team of doctors treating him were mostly Jewish, it stayed that way up to his death.

In czarist Russia, doctors (especially Jewish ones) were scapegoated as the reason for royals dying. This was still somewhat true after Stalin's death, but to a lesser extent.

I hope I am remembering that correctly. I'll try to find some page numbers from the Losurdo book

Edit: Chapter "The Question of 'Cosmopolitanism' ", page 229 onwards

“For years, the Justice Department has been working aggressively to counter Iran’s brazen and unrelenting efforts to retaliate against American public officials for the killing of Iranian General [Qassem] Soleimani,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said

They actually put this quote in the article. I guess if you are foaming at the mouth about Iran, this quote fills you with pride.

Love to see a grown adult complaining that Shell abandoning this "committment" in search of profits was a "pivotal shift in corporate values"
