Is there A SINGLE FUCKING THING this guy did right? I'm trying to be neutral towards and I cant because this guy was such a failure in every regard.
>we are being nvaded and our nation has been ravaged by war? Sounds like a good time to genocide hundreds of thousands of people >I want to execute people holocaust style... lets freeze them to death and enforce cannibalizm instead of just executing them >everything yugoslavia >everything china >the korean air war fuckups >genocided jews because why the fuck not >genocide communists and socialists because fuck you
Why did they tolerate this living disease as long as they did?
>Why did they tolerate this living disease as long as they did? Because the single fucking thing he got right was being ruthless enough to ensure everyone was terrified of him, and paranoid of each other.

There has to be more than that. I refuse to beleive the entire party was a bunch of spineless cucks too afraid of death to assasinate him.

Wages and their value were relatively stable in the Stalin years. Despite collectivization, agriculture more or less stabilized for him in the post war years. Among the rank and file and soviet citizens, the purges were actually pretty popular. It of course wasn't nice to be on the receiving end, but if you and your mates didn't like a guy because he was the laziest labourer in the mine and grumbled too much about his party duties it was pretty easy to denounce him. I mean, I don't fancy the idea of having people offed for being mildly annoying, but hey the past is a foreign country, they do things differently.

>I refuse to beleive the entire party was a bunch of spineless cucks too afraid of death to assasinate him. It's been happening in North Korea for decades.
Benjamin Walker
He did everything right. The thing is that he's remembered for his worst deeds and the misinterpretation of the good ones
Christopher Gonzalez
He knew when to back off and let his generals run the war without his meddling.
Sebastian Reyes
He's literally one of the most successful bourgeois heads of state.
20th century equivalent of a Peter the Great or Napoleon - except not an incompetent moron whose empire fell apart in his lifetime (i.e. Napoleon)

they're russians, their history has always been like this... since the dawn of times.
Ryder Green
He was really good at killing people who wanted to take his job
