- MrVitaliy 5y agoThis list is missing Stalin wiping out most of his opposition and things like https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14589691 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14589691
- nobody9999 5y agoRight. Which is why I didn't include him on the list. What's your point?
- jcadam 5y agoPoint taken. Though Putin to Medvedev and back wasn't really a transfer of power :) Also, if you haven't seen "Death of Stalin", it's an excellent dark comedy, if a bit historically inaccurate.

- euroderf 5y agoAs a general rule, over the decades (centuries?), every change of leadership in Russia has been at least a bit less bloody than the previous one. Some dare call it "progress" :-P
