Are you confusing him with Tom Selleck?
According to the History Channel he actually helped save Moscow during WWII when the Germans were dropping bombs most people in the city were underground...

There can`t be any simple answer... What I think about Stalin? About Stalin`s policy, about country status in his period, about his policy during WWII or about my relatives and relatives of my friends who perished from his inhuman repressions?
Well, i just can say that he is a person who makes people think about him and argue again and again: was hes role in Russian history positive or negative? It is astonishing that he still manages to make 47% of Russians think of his as a positive person, and only 29%-negative.

I am nobody's little weasel
Is that because only 29% were sent to the Gulags?
He sacrificed thousands upon thousands of russian soldiers to capture the reichstag by 1st of may...
Or The murder of millions of Ukranian's due to his policies

Of course he was alone. He prosecuted his friends.
He was a power monger, and a sadist.

Uncle Joe a sadist? Never!
Good old Joseph Vissarionowich Dsugashwilli. I don't know if I have the spelling right but go ahead and yell hail Dsugashwilli three times without damaging some internal organ. The name Stalin (I think it means "steel" in Russian) was the nom de guerre he adopted while serving time for mail robbery.
Sadist? Of course never never! He just has sent many hundred thousands soviet innocent people to the Gulag or just executed by shooting them. Also as with my great-grandfather who has been arrested and without any court has been banished, and after that my family never heard about him any more. Ah, nice uncle Joe...

He was a true communist, never forget that, kill 'em all on sight I say ![]()

First among equals we might even say!
He was grand, no doubt. In what ways, there a lots. He was a murderer, he was a visionary, he believed in something and he had no qualms when reaching out for something he wanted, that's for sure.
But he has left a great legacy: how not to establish communism.
He was brilliant in many ways, even in the ways of murdering people, he knew his tactics and he was capable of warfare, he believed in communism but he was too eager to force it upon the people.
Yet he was right:
"Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed."

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labour. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

You know...some of your argument wouldn't be that popular with former inmates of the Gulag. Certainly he is the prime example of a dictatorship masquerading as a party for the people yet he was no more than a ruthless killer.
Oh and his one liners...the infamous one being "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. "
He wanted utopia but human beings are not by nature utopian..
Tiska...
An idealization of Stalin? Dithyrambs to murders?!? hmmm...
More than enough to read 'Arhipelag-Gulag' by A.Solzhenitsyn or 'Kolyma Tales' by V.Shalamov about...'a live meat'... to understand that Stalin was not any BRILLIANT MYTH, but he was a CRUEL REALITY for many real people in Russia.
Just wonder...how easy is to admire the evil as long as it doesn't touch your personal life.

He's dead!
Funny how people only read the part they disagree with. And funny as well how people always embrace thinking the worst about other people. He was a murderer, full stop. There you go.
By the way, Percy. You're wrong. I bet he lives in Malibu now.

Wow, 129 and still flipping burgers and living the American dream ![]()
Ranks of Tyran : Number 2 after Hitler ! POL POLT take number 3 !
Don't need to worry, all of Stalin's great ideas and deeds have been true valued IN Russia. But what about the superficial opinion about the brilliant sadism... it looks like people sometimes even have no idea what they say... that really is funny. Well, unfortunately only few people decide to learn a thing deeply before making opinions ![]()
