Not sure why you're trying to paint me as a Nazi for voicing my disapproval of a comment that glorifies the Soviet Union. Oh, wait. I know EXACTLY why you're trying to do that. Reductio ad Hitlerum. Look it up. It's a logical fallacy.
By the way, Joe Stalin was a fascist and the Soviet Union he led was a fascist nation. How is "socialism in one nation" different than "national socialism?" Wake up, dude. The conflict between Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany wasn't a great ideological struggle between communism and fascism. If it was, then how do you explain the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? It was nothing but a struggle between two megalomaniacal dictators to see which one would get to hold power over the lands, peoples and resources of Eastern Europe.
Sorry to shatter your illusions.

I'll be as civil as possible here. Huh? I think you're taking all of this a tad too personally. Perhaps be a bit more charitable? They've made it clear they don't want hostility: "Not sure why you're trying to pick a fight...." Nobody is praising Stalin, nor do I think anyone in this region would have the mind to. We all know what he's responsible for. And, he's also largely responsible to defeating the Nazis (granted he's also allied with them). We can accept that he did that one good thing, without having our opinion of him as a whole being any less negative.
