Pity.
They need another Ivan to lead the way.
They have Putin who is trying to be a patriot like Stalin. I suppose he is trying to fulfill his promise to Yeltsin, to "save Russia".
I believe Putin is trying to do whats best for russia, but I cannot and will not accept stalin as a patriot of any sort.
Why do you consider him as such?
Stalin took over the agrarian Russia that was devastated by the civil war, war with Japan, famine and filled with uneducated people. In 10 years he managed to build thousands of factories to outproduce the entire Europe that fought against the USSR in WWII. During the war the GDP of the USSR was 14%. By the time Stalin died, the USSR had the most educated population on the planet. They built the first nuclear power plant, were getting ready to launch Sputnik, and the stores were full of goods.
Stalin said that Communists developed the science of a revolution but failed to come up with a plan to run the country. Stalin ended the Worldwide Communism project of the Neoliberals, closed the USSR’s central bank in New York, and removed the Communist Party from power. For that last step the Neoliberals killed him, falsified history and eventually destroyed the USSR.
This is why over 75% of Russians view Stalin as positive figure. Stalin stands above all others. Putin is only trying to be like Stalin. This is why Ivan, Stalin and Putin are evil.
