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.

Good post. Stalin is not responsible for defeating the nazis though. Neither is Churchill, nor Roosevelt.

It was the people of the Soviet Union, of Poland, Denmark, France, Great Britain, the US, etc. etc. who stopped fascism and ended World War II. This feat cannot be attributed to any one single person, especially not to a totalitarian dictator.
