Big deal I understand a great many Germans still like Hitler. Those who thought otherwise were not allowed to live. The smart ones got out in time. I doubt very many families with dissenters were left alone by Uncle Joe.

Middle-aged people have a negative attitude to Stalin's role, while positive assessments are typical of the elder generation and youth.
That is thanks to Putin’s historical revisionism.

The Left is a universal sickness, not just a local epidemic.

About the same percentage who think the same here in the US.

I doubt very many families with dissenters were left alone by Uncle Joe. I was also going to suggest this was a poll taken of the 50% that lived through the experience. Likely 50% of the folks in the US think hillary clinton is a decent human. When evil can't fool a few people it won't be very successful.

Millions of Russiand died in WWII. The memory is still fresh.
Stalin saved Russia and prosecuted the war on the Eastern Front. Saving Russia from Hitler is worth remembering and may very well outweigh his terrible tyrannical reign of fury.
Hei should not be remembered solely as an ogre.

BINGO - we have a winner!
To: Grzegorz 246
That's because he's credited with stopping Hitler. They are asking themselves the question, "Who would be better for Russia, Hitler or Stalin?"
To: bert
"Saving Russia from Hitler"
His purges of the Red Army's officer class were one of the reasons why Russia came so close to being defeated in 1941.
Stalin deserves no credit for the victory - the Soviet Army, its officers (some of whom were released from the gulags and sent to the front) and the russian people were the victors.
To: bert
Most of those people died because of Stalin's stupidity. Fortunately Hitler wasn't more intelligent.
To: Grzegorz 246
Stalin "modernized" Russia, you see. He constructed huge, huge buildings and such. Those Russians alive today are by definition descended from people who survived his slave labor system (at least long enough to reproduce) and therefore they like the results. No surprise.
To: bert
Stalin saved Russia and prosecuted the war on the Eastern Front.
Because of his stupidity Hitler had such good occasion to attack SU. We should remember that Stalin killed so many Soviet officers that there was lack of them when Hitler came. That is one of the reasons why they had so big losses.

Exactly. Many of Soviet POW's were executed or sent to gulags after they had been "liberated".

How many Russian soldiers were killed not by Germans firing at them from in front but by NKVD firing at them from behind?
