nearly half of Russians want a Stalin statue to celebrate the USSR’s victory over the Nazis

That's it? The whole basis for younger Russians loving Stalin is a WWII memorial with Stalin in it?

Good grief. The Nazis killed 2.7 million Russians. Of course, Russians are grateful the Nazis were defeated.

We aligned with Stalin to save the world from the Nazis and their allies.

They also didn’t have to live under Stalin, they got to reap the benefits of Stalin’s rule without all the pain.
