New Russian poll shows record highs in Stalin approval

A record 70 percent of Russians approve of Soviet leader Josef Stalin’s role in Russian history, according to a poll published by the independent Levada Center pollster on Tuesday.
Stalin’s image has been gradually rehabilitated in the 2000s from that of a bloody autocrat to an “outstanding leader.” President Vladimir Putin has revived the Soviet anthem, Soviet-style military parades and a Soviet-era medal for labor during his presidency.
Seventy percent of Russian respondents told the Levada Center in 2019 that Stalin played a positive role for Russia. Stalin’s previous record approval rating stood at 54 percent in 2016.
A record low of 19 percent viewed Stalin’s role negatively, down from 32 percent in 2016.
The share of Russian respondents who said Stalin’s crimes were unjustified has decreased from 60 percent in 2008 to 45 percent this year, Levada said.
Of the 51 percent who viewed Stalin favorably as a person, 41 percent said they respect him, followed by 6 percent who sympathized with and 4 percent who admired him. Only a combined 13 percent said they dislike, fear or hate Stalin, while 26 percent had neither positive or negative views of the Soviet leader.
Stalin’s positive approval rating stayed consistent across all age groups, with the exception of the 18-24 age group who were largely indifferent.
Levada conducted the survey among 1,600 respondents between March 21-27.

Russians crave to be led by strong men, always have, even under the tsars

Jokes on them I guess? Stalin threw away Russian lives like they were dirt. Literally millions died so he could support his own oligarchy, so the chosen few at the top could live like kings. I mean, the famed wealth disparity in the us people love to bitch about has got nothing on this guy. Imagine everyone in a packed tiger stadium killed in cold blood so someone could be rich. Now imagine it happening a hundred times over. frick Stalin.

More proof of how stupid the Russians are. They are a tough people, but have never craved freedom. They desperately want to be ruled.

Theyve been conditioned that way. So has most of our population.

People don’t like Stalin because he liked killed some people, but he also like defeated the evil nazis and like he had a pretty dope mustache

He also completely outsmarted FDR and Henry Ford who basically paid for Soviet industrialization

Weird how you can approve of a dude that killed 10x more people than Hitler

Yea but it’s like not really that hard to like outsmart a guy in a wheel chair

Most people generally agree Stalin knew bringing FDR to Yalta would speed up his death
He also said something to the effect when they were switching rooms “I’ll walk but some people will roll” and his translator refused to put it into English when asked

And liberal media in America and Britain said it wasn’t happening or was a huge exaggeration

Should’ve listened to Patton and killed Russia while we had the chance.

Putin has also made a number of symbolic moves to recognize the contributions of White Russians.
It’s a symbolic end to the civil war.

Russia doesn’t work without strong central leadership. We saw that in the 90s when governors turned their regions into personal kingdoms.
