>western brainwashed capitalist "history" books tell me everyone hated Stalin when he died>listen to people actually alive during the time living the USSR>one guy in a gulag said how it was the darkest day of of his life because now things would get much worse>another lady who was not pro-Stalin at all admitted she cried when he died>here is an image of two Orthodox priests crying at Stalin's funeral
>>18760911For all the shit Stalin gets in history, the rapidity with which the Soviet Union collapsed following the period of "De-Stalinization" should tell you that all the political violence he engaged in was absolutely necessary for maintaining the functioning of his Empire. He wasn't just some madman killing people for fun.
>>18760941He brought the USSR to the brink of collapse before WW2 and the only thing that saved him was American gibs from lend-lease while USSR’s economy after the war was entirely fueled by stolen resources from Eastern Europe.
Stalin ought to get more credit for being the man who civilised the Russians.
>>18760911so 4 idiots were sad he was dead therefore the 'history' books are wrong
>hey, let's put part of our propaganda budget into stalin glazing>why tho?>to explain the rapid 30 year decline of the sowjet union without the real reasons
>>18761040He still kept his Soviet Union together through all of that and it's not entirely his fault the Nazis ended up betraying him
>>18760911He used the holocaust to cover up his war crimes. He and his jews were the true evil of ww2
>>18761047By killing all the smart ones and letting savage jews rape the country?
>>18761176That’s the opposite of what he did tho "Savage Jews raping the country" is literally just the USSR before Stalin
>>18760911>He's good because other people were worseI forget actual children post here.
>>18761058And it doesn't even say they were sad because he died. I was sad when Queen Elizabeth died. Couldn't give a single shit about her personally, but it was the definitive ending of an era which will never return. No doubt people were the same with Stalin.
>>18761155>He still kept his Soviet Union together through all of thatDid you miss the part where the Soviet Union’s survival had nothing to do with Stalin and was actually jeopardized by his retardation?
>>18761529That's just historical revisionism. If that were true, De-Stalinization wouldn't have been the very thing to kill the Soviet Union
>>18760911The Communist Party gave the people free homes, healthcare, education and stable jobs in cities and later the Stalinist regime defeated the Nazis. You need to be a lunatic to think that people would hate such a leader or they would care at all that some of the party elite are being executed.
