What do Russians think of Stalin? - BBC News

Under Vladimir Putin, Russia's Victory Day has grown into a major public celebration - and today, once again, tanks will roll across Red Square.
The renewed stress on the Soviet victory against Nazi Germany has recast Joseph Stalin as a great war leader, glossing over his crimes and repression.
The latest polls show that even young Russians now have an increasingly positive view of Stalin, but the reality is not quite as straightforward as the statistics suggest.

In 1945 Stalin was liked in all allied nations that won ww2, expecially in the USA, beucause it was told to the people for years that Uncle Stalin was helping the war effort against Germany, also thanks to the land lease. The bad reputation came only after. In 1945 Churchill, the only person more respected than Stalin in the USA, was invited to New York and held a speech against Stalin, calling him a tyrant. This was part of the plan to change public opinion against him, since the rivality between West and East had started, and with that the Cold War. In a couple of years Stalin went from one of the most respected world leaders to the most hated, and this perception still remains strong today. This shows how easily people are influenced by political moves and propaganda and how true "in time of need, the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is.

Here are real numbers for Stalin's years: After that, 7 million sounds quite a pedestrian number. Real numbers are even lower. Two best and most reliable documents regarding numbers of imprisoned and killed in Stalin’s days are (1) The Attorney General et al report to Nikita Khrushchev in 1954, saying 2.5 million were imprisoned for all Soviet period, and 600 thousand sentenced to death, and (2) Dr Victor Zemskov painstaking research, well known for its thoroughness. Zemskov had studied activities of the state security bodies from 1921 to 1954, and he discovered that in this period 650 thousand persons have been sentenced to death (not all of them were actually executed) and 2.3 million were sentenced to prison terms. That’s for 33 difficult years of Stalin’s rule. That’s all, folks.

[@milosvarus615]

Its funny that the BBC never actually mention where their sources come from concerning the number of dead or imprisoned during Stalins period, they start by mentioning that he was a repressive monster that killed millions to give shock value to the audience so that they believe their bullshit uncritically.

As students and non-historians, I feel as though we tend to weigh both the negative and positive against one another to judge whether an individual was of historic significance as a hero or villain. Stalin and the Soviet Union made absolutely significant contributions towards the Allies' victory over the Axis in WWII, and I believe things would certainly have been a bit different, had it not been for their contributions to the war, but I also think it's important to learn of the terrible things that occurred while he was in power also, rather than recognizing only the positive OR negative. We should learn of BOTH the positive AND negative. I feel as though it would take away from a bias.

That's not a valid comparison. Hitler started history's most destructive war WHICH DESTROYED GERMANY. So even without the Holocaust, no German can ever think positively of a leader who DESTROYED their country! The fact there was a Holocaust as well is two strikes against the Fuehrer. As I and others have said here, Stalin wasn't just a Totalitarian who caused the deaths of tens of millions (few people deny this!) The fact is that his rule with an iron fist had very real positive impacts, not least of which, the Industrialisation of the Soviet Union, which enabled its victory over Germany in World War II. Stalin left his country in a far stronger state than he found it (in 1953, the USSR had nuclear missiles and was a superpower rivaling the US). When Hitler shot a bullet in his head, Germany was nothing but a smoking pile of ruins. Huge difference!

Also, Churchill was not a good man however in my eyes he did a lot as mainland France would not exist if not for him taking power as opposed to Halifax, just like if DeGaulle wasn’t popular there would likely be less French resistance and France would not be the same, and if Wilkie had won the election over Roosevelt we likely would have stayed out even after Pearl Harbor and so forth. Maybe Britain did not have men to throw at the enemy but Britain in WWII was at least a symbol of the Nazis not winning and how the German army could fail (Battle of Britain).

@@javiercastro8466 Bruh what? Americans learn history from such a biased point of view that it's insane. Especially modern history from WW2 to today. Almost every bad deed of USA is either whitewashed to not look as bad as it is or completely erased off of history books. It is true that freedom of information exists, but the education system in USA is extremely bad and non-objective
