Stalin was a back stabbing paranoid thug, who murdered over 20 million soviets, which was only second in history to what Hitler did to the same poor Soviets 28 million dead, in other words he was almost as bad to his people as the most violent invasion and war in history was to them, i.e. The eatern Front 1941-45.

All of his five year plans literally cost millions and millions of lives, being 20 minutes late to work was at least a 1 year in the gulag in some places, he made life a living hell, who was that famous boy who turned his family in for stealing grain, and Stalin had a statue made for him after he was killed by the townspeople. imagine being scared of your own children, talk about police state. Stalinism is just a cult of mindlessness.
