Isn't the following sentence just a wee bit POV:

"Under Stalin's rule, many Georgians were executed. Under Khrushchev, the government was decentralized and the Georgian Communist Party rose in power. Alongside it, a black market economy and corruption grew. Eduard Shevardnadze worked for years to fight this corruption from the mid 1960s until 1985, when he was appointed Soviet Foreign Minister."

i mean, doesn't it really read: the Communists (Stalinists) were really wicked, then along came the man who started off the whole decopmmunisting process (Krustchev) and things started to get better until along came nice Mr. Shevardnadze (who'd never been a member of the Communist Party of course, God forbid!) who brought neoliberalism (oos, I mean Democracy) to Georgia.
