{{Quote|By the time of his state funeral in March 1953 the man the world knew effectively as "Uncle Jo Stalin" had been dead for four days. The people of the Soviet Union wept openly for their dead leader. To the Russian people Stalin was a saviour. The great leader who had plucked them and the country from the jaws of [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s nazis and kept the Americans at bay. As they filed past his corpse few care to recall that Stalin had another darker reputation as the murderer of millions of his own people. Stalin turned Soviet Russia into one of the bloodiest killing rounds the world has ever seen.|Introduction to a Discovery channel documentary.}}
