Stalin was a georgian not a russian.
::::
He was born in Gori, Georgia, which was part of the Russian empire...and lived as a Russian. He was very Russian and very evil beyond description.
Stalin controlled the Russian communist empire from Moscow. In 1939 when Germans and Russians armies jointly carved up Poland and began exterminating & enslaving the Poles, the Jews and all other 'undesirables', do think the Poles stated 'the Georgians are invading us from the East and the Austrians are invading from the West'? The origin's of Hitler's birthplace & Stalin's birthplace were irrelevant when speaking about the two invading armies wiping Poland off the map.
In Poland they stated 'the Germans are attacking from the West and the Russians are attacking from the East, all completed under the Ribbentrop/Molotov Pact. German/Russian nonaggression treaty.
