==As Leader of the Soviet Union==

During his time in power, Stalin had many of his own people killed, particularly during the 'Great Purge' of late 30's. Stalin died in 1953, ending the greatest (or perhaps the worst) era in Soviet history. His successor, Nikita Khrushchev, then began the liberalization of Soviet policy that continued into the 1980s and led to its collapse.

During his time in power, Stalin had many of his own people killed, particularly during the 'Great Purge' of late 30's. Stalin wanted to create the world’s greatest soldier, and so ordered his best scientists to make a hybrid ape-man. His goal was to create a being that was physically strong but with an undeveloped brain so it was easily manipulated. As his top scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was unsuccessful, Stalin had him arrested and exiled to Kazakhstan. Stalin died in 1953, ending the greatest (or perhaps the worst) era in Soviet history.

Line 28:

This isn’t a merely a whitewashing of the past. Similar polls show that most Russians are aware of the depth and depravity of Stalin’s crimes. However, he’s also seen as the leader who took on and defeated Nazi Germany after the horrific Battle of Stalingrad. In other words, he’s a monster but one who defeated an even bigger monster.

*Stalin would regularly air-brush photographs as he was paranoid about the permanent scars on his face, which were a result of small pox as a child. He reportedly had several portrait artists shot for unflattering images of him.

*Stalin was apparently a huge fan of American western movies, and would even host screenings for his friends in his private cinema – and he could understand it perfectly as he had his very own in-house translator.
