If you read my comment properly, I specifically said "he is quoted as saying ...", which is undeniably true.
Saying that that Stalin was a brutal and paranoid man, amongst other things is a historically accurate statement.
If you think I'm promoting the standard, one dimensionals view that Stalin was evil incarnate, then you have completely failed to understand my point.
He is quoted as saying something he didn't say. It is undeniably true that words where put in his mouth
I think we get your point
Oh fuck off. Weasel words. How fucking slimey are you?
Stalin was a soft kind grandpa compared to Lenin.
I like how the people actively pursuing plots against Stalin then also criticize him for being paranoid. I would be paranoid too if all of the richest people and institutions in the world were organizing nazi collaborator opposition against me.
like his best friend was killed by foreign agents, who wouldn't be paranoid to hell?
