He should be remembered, as a monster and the epitome of communism.
Set up the statue and surround it with gov’mt issued signs along the lines of “do not do this”.
“He should be remembered, as a monster and the epitome of communism.”
Stalin was responsible for the murder of at least 40 million Russian citizens.
Worse than Hitler
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Lenin also in the monument, right above Stalin’s head.
“Worse than Hitler”
Yes he was.
“Worse than Hitler”
Yes he was.
Big difference....Stalin won.
Forty million Soviet citizens, not all of whom were Russian. Stalin himself was Georgian, not Russian.
A lot more Ethnic Ukrainians by percentage perished than ethnic Russians.
That’s abominable. 😖
They also started putting up statues dedicated to Ivan The Terrible.
If anything, Russians view Stalin as the modern-day “Ivan The Terrible”, not so much as a Communist.
“”””Big difference....Stalin won.””””
Until Reagan finally ended WWII by defeating the other half of the German/Russian war of conquest and empire.
Get help and a REAL job !!
