Like honestly, I won't comment on any of this anymore. But where are you guys from? Because you are either Russian, and sucking the dicks of a failed dictator, or you are from several continents away, with no context to any of this, and then you just are a bunch of useful idiots to a failed dictator. Answer this one honestly. Either to me or to yourselves...

I hardly think the guy who beat the nazis and raised standards of living in the USSR from borderline starvation to comparable with western Europe in a couple decades a failure. There were regular famines before Stalin; after Stalin there were none until capitalism reversed all that progress, immiserated the populace, and decreased all measurements of human development by similar numbers to WWII.

The CIA admits he wasn't a dictator, merely representing the dictatorship of the proletariat.

I don't care what the CIA thinks of stalin. Like how is the fucking CIA an authority on europe in the 60-s. Also Stalin didn't beat the nazis. The british did.

nazi germany and british empire taking each other out would've been the best possible outcome. Yeah I know anglo island was severely weakened by the war but still
