They like the part about turning Russia from an agrarian serf nation into an industrial powerhouse that became arguably the second most powerful country in human history. The whole beating back Hitler thing helps his popularity too.

Stalin's slave labor force proved to be reasonably efficient.

And Stalin's murder of 60,000,000 Russian countrymen makes him one of history's most disgusting creatures.

Putin gave a speech to the women of the Moscow police where he declared

That doesn't even make any fricking sense



Your President polishes Putin's knob every chance he gets and mimics whatever opinions his boss has.

8 Republicans decided the 4th of July was a great time to go to Moscow.

The NRA is in bed with Russia.

Devin Nunes has a lot of strange ties to Russia via Portugal.

The list goes on and on.

I don't know whether you're more ill-informed or uninformed.

I mean maybe. But cripple FDR was a giant cuck


I don't think it was that. The Allies were reluctant to fight to begin with.

I'm trying to figure out if we could've even beat the Axis with no nukes if they had Russia?

That should be a thread on its on.

Totally agree, but we're looking at it from a western perspective. Apparently Russians believe it was an acceptable price to pay for abolishing Serfdom (basically slavery) which is what the majority of them were prior to 1920.

Serfdom was abolished in 1861

That would be your President as well, assuming you currently reside in the United States.

Context being without Stalin, Russia would not exist.

The rest of the leadership was frozen after the Nazi invasion.

Stalin expected his execution before they came on bended knee to still follow him.

It's an amazing what if?

It would probably still be a bunch of warlords in little fiefdoms akin to central Africa if Nazis were allowed to push in (still get eaten alive, it's Russia after all).

How would the rest of the world look without the Soviet shadow going to near the end.

Can you imagine how prosperous Russia would have been today had this moron not wiped out the economic working class.

None of that suggests they would have high approvals of Stalin.
