June 2005He turned Russia into a giant concentration camp, killing tens of millions of people. So why do so many Russians regard him as a hero and long for another Joseph Stalin? "He's the man who created our country. How can you not love him?" proclaims one elderly lady. "He was just, honest. When he died, we were all crying." Stalin has long been admired by the older generation, who grew up in a world where the Soviet Union was respected and feared. The difference now is that some of their grandchildren agree. "For me, he's the figure who played the greatest role in the 20th century," states 23 year old Alexei Sidorov. For the first time in decades, new statues of Stalin are going up. Streets and parks are being named after him and there's fresh interest in his life. But that's angering as many Russians as it's pleasing. "Stalin, in my opinion, shouldn't be remembered at all," states Joe Glazer. He was arrested in one of Stalin's purges and sent to the gulags. But increasingly he finds himself in a minority. "People need a hero," explains human rights worker Grigory Shvedov. For todays Russians, a strongman like Stalin is just what the country needs.

Anglo-American idiots should refrain from commenting on Russian politics and history as if they understand it. To make controversy about Russians' opinion of Stalin is outrageous.Although Stalin made many harmful mistakes and blunders, he still has a place in Russian history as a national hero. Stalin is highly regarded among Russians for the same reason why Churchill is loved in England and America.

And you have no right to tell other people to not give their opinion.

But is "greatest" to be considered the same as good?

Eh.. Why are you from Germany then?

But a great leader doesn't make a good person. Hitler was a great leader too. Alexander the great was a great leader too.. You need to learn to make the distinction between a good man and a great leader.And your statement about pro-capitalist is not a real argument, because I bet that every book that isn't pro-communist will be classified as pro-capitalist by the representatives of the "red sharia".

Stalin was a great leader. Guys read the real history of the world. Don't be fooled by those pro-capitalism books. Don't trust all you read. Think and analyze. Check out the different perspectives on the topic, look at the sources of info. and then decide for yourself.
