But it doesn't distill the Creepy Soviet style worship the Obots give him.
I wouldn’t know a word of Russian except in 2003 I was deployed to Uzbekistan during OIF-1. The Uzbeks still spoke Russian after decades of Soviet rule & in working with them I found it much easier to learn some Russian rather than try to speak their Turkic language.
FWIW, the souvenir shop on base offered Stalin era posters along with Uzbek cultural items. The older Uzbeks told me horror stories about life under communism while the young people waxed nostalgic about Stalin & being part of the greater USSR. Strange.
