Stalin Was No Murderer, Says Grandson

Most historians in Russia and the West agree that Joseph Stalin was responsible for the deaths of millions of his own people. But now a bizarre libel hearing is under way at a Moscow court that could clear the name of the power-crazed Soviet dictator, widely considered one of history’s most vicious tyrants.

Ah, and the Illegal Alien wants a "reset" with this country, which is rapidly doing its own "reset" to the times of Stalin. Of course, that's not really so surprising, since the Illegal Alien, already a communist and secret America and American hating Mudslime, is a Stalin wannabe.

He’s right. Stalin was no murderer. He was a mass-murderer. Big difference.

[a fool in paradise]

Socialist revisionist history means never having to acknowledge the lessons of the past.

[Shimmer1]

He was a good boy......

[reagan_fanatic]

Nah - he just directed the state to do his mass-murdering for him, that’s all.

[Cheetahcat]

What was he then an Post birth Abortionist?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

He was a good boy......

...He was going to marry the mother of one of kids. He was hoping to get a recording contract. Then that nasty Hitler came along and spoiled everything.

Most of AOL's article finds agreement. Apart from signing off on death penalties, he seems to be a "nice guy" who is "well loved" in Mother Russia.

Sick. Communism kills.

Sure, buddy, sure...

By the way, I have this bridge I can sell you cheap...

...He was an assisted suicide Doctor for motivationally challenged proletarians.

Helping his comrades over the divide in the most kindly ways.

I believe it was old "Uncle Joe" who said in effect, "One death is a tragedy. One millions deaths is a statistic."

[Jack Hammer]

Sounds like “grandson” needs a strait-jacket.

[libstripper]

He’s right. Stalin was no murderer. He was a mass-murderer. Big difference.

Stalin was also a very proficient individual murderer and terrorist in his pre-governmental days while he was only a wannabe. See Simon Seabag Montefiore, Young Stalin.

I think old Joe did some killin’ around 1905 in a bank robbery that raised money for the revolution.

People whose murder he was directly involved in: his wife, Nadezhda Alliluyev; his close comrade Sergei Mironovich Kirov; Trotsky; and I believe he would have murdered Lenin if he thought he could have gotten away with it. Of course this doesn’t mention the millions of his victims who were executed, sent to the Gulag to die or simply starved to death under his “leadership.”

[arasina]

Well, it wasn't murder murder.

[a fool in paradise]

He was quiet and kept to himself...

So did the SLA but they have been released on “good behavior”.

[PhilDragoo]

That's not a view held only by the old. In a 2007 survey of 16- to 19-year-olds carried out by the independent Yuri Levada Centre, 54 percent agreed that Stalin did more good than bad. "Many young people welcome the fact that Russia has recovered from the low point of the 1990s and are proud of what the country is becoming, which is a major power again," says Barber. "So they can identify with Stalin, who was someone who built up the country in the 1920s and '30s."

And as they become old enough to vote, Putin will protect them from the stress of having to choose.

Who loves you, Baby?

[libstripper]

Looks like you've read Young Stalin.

[cranked]

Stalin was indeed a murderer so says the souls of the millions murdered in his purges.

[LeonardFMason]

“He was a mass-murderer.”

Stalin made Hitler look like a petty criminal. His effort to starve the Ukraine killed millions.

[GOPyouth]

Stalin didn’t really murder-murder over 20 million people, except when he murdered over 20 million people.

[Slyfox]

Stalin was no murderer...he didn't actually pull the trigger.

[ApplegateRanch]

And last year the government approved a new school textbook describing Stalin as an "efficient manager" who behaved "entirely rationally, as the guardian of a system."

And Mussolini was an avid social reformer who brought unprecidented efficiency to Italian rail travel. /s

Good call.
