Iosif Stalin

Was he based?

Better than Lenin the retard

Yes.

Absolutely. Purged Jews from the USSR, industrialized Russia, and kicked Hitler's shit in.

I want to visit Georgia someday.

To add insult to injury, Poland managed to survive both the Gestapo and the NKVD and still outlast the USSR, and be a nicer place to live in.

>there's a Germany
nazi germany is ded
>there's a France
4th french republic is ded
>there's a UK
the empire is long ded
>Poland managed to survive both the Gestapo and the NKVD and still outlast the USSR, and be a nicer place to live in
poland still exists instead of being annexed was literally because stalin decided to make them independent to be a buffer state

>France goes through 5 republics and still survives
>Germany has been through three reichs and is on its second republic
>UK adopted a constitutional monarchy in 1689 and stuck with it for 300 years
>USSR gets the sniffles and falls down like a house of cards

Also

>look at how great we are, when we invaded this country, we only slaughtered a large proportion of the population and then occupied them for half a century
>we're such nice people
>meanwhile, the US takes seven years to turn Japan and Germany into some of the world's strongest economies

Also, you fags lost a war to Poland.

You literally couldn't take Poland without the Germans chewing it up and then spitting it out for you.
