That's a loaded question and a complete misdirection of the facts. I have NOTHING against Stalin personally or period. He was, however, a brutal bastard--this is a statement of fact. It would be like saying, "Richard Nixon was a crook" and then being accused of having something against him personally. He was a crook, out and out truth. Stalin was a brutal man, out and out truth.
PROVE that Stalin was brutal. I have dealt with this "brutal" thing previously.

When Capitalists went to visit Russia after the Stalin era, they were shocked to see that everyday Russians still loved the Great Teacher, i.e. Stalin. They concluded: "This cannot be love. They must still be afraid of him, to say that they love such a man; they are just saying that." However, they were wrong.

Just curious, Totalitarianist, how is Stalin related to you? Is he your grandfather, idol or etc? Why are you so keen to defend his god-forsaken reputation?

The 20 million of his own people killed out of his own damned paranoia?
Lenin's comments on him?
How exactly did you deal with his brutality? I really entirely missed that, since whatever it was, it was completel ludicrous.

LOL!! Twenty million. That's funny. Perhaps I should write a post of that entitled "Myth #956".

Do a little RESEARCH first before you make such wild claim. Stalin's paranoia is a myth which has been refuted even my anti-Stalinist historians. Stalin's paranoia will be the subject of another post.

Lenin was very critical of everyone. His comments on Trotsky, for example, were much worse.

Stalin is certainly the single greatest figure in the 20th century, and he must be remembered as one of the greatest politicians of all time.

Actually, the last is categorically false, if you are talking about Lenin's Testament.

You are confusing fear with love. There were informants everywhere.
