Probably no other figure in Russian history causes such acrimonious discussions and heated debates as that of Stalin.
Mass media portrays him as the greatest villain on Earth,or a cartoon monster, or a strong ruler, tough but fair Father Czar. In the flow of political talk shows, a fierce hatred for Stalin meets an exalted idealization of his image.Behind this barrage of legends and facts,
copiously peppered with gossip and untruth,many people find it hard to see his true historical role. Despite this apparent difficulty, it is easy. To do it, we don’t need to dig through the details of Stalin’s biography or analyze his personality in depth. We only need to throw away the lies, dismiss what is secondary and recognize what is truly important. It will then become clear what Stalin’s place in history is and why his deeds and achievements are besmirched somehow or idealized awkwardly.
Most importantly, we will answer the question: “What does Stalin mean for our country and the world today?”
