Stalin was the worst in terms of numbers. But like I said in the below post it seems easier to accept him. He's not portrayed as a Hitler because he was a part of our modern world. His regime had succesors that followed him until gorbie. Really Stalin is only seven leaders away from Putin. Not far. And I think that makes him more a part of the real world. Unlike hitler who resides in this sort of nightmare illusion. In a way I think it would be better for us to understand someone like hitler or stalin as a human being rather than as a dream/nightmare. Mabye we would realize these are people just waiting to take their place in history again.

This one's my favourite. He looks happy here. Remember when Joe had those good years, all cheery and such?
