From the article:
"He is popular among the young, say pollsters, mainly because of rising nationalism, the result of the humiliation of Russia's diminished place in the world.
Volgograd University students lauded Stalin on everything from collectivisation, the agricultural policy that resulted in the deaths of millions through famine, to his supposed love for human rights.
"To change a weak country into the world's greatest power, we had to collectivise," said Andrei Ivanov, a history student. "We were able to produce tractor factories and to win the war."

Do any of you guys care to elaborate on this? Do you want to tell me again how the Russians were really just victims of Stalin, and therefore they bear NO responsibility for a communist holocaust?

Gladly. The article is "crap" as we have stated from beginning to end. We have heard this revival of Stalinism in Russia time after time, and yet the overwhelming majority of Russians wouldn't consider going back to that time. Some do have respect for the fact that Stalin lead them on to victory in WWII, but that is mainly among the older Russians who lost everything in the depression of the late nineties. You will more communists on American college campuses than in Russia.
