"A quote from Stalin was that, "I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the winds of history will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy." And I think that's probably true of many people. How we see things in one era often looks very different in the future"
If anything, Stalin has an even worse reputation today as in the years after his death. And I actually hope this won't change, as it would mean viewing mass murder and totalitarism in a good light again.
- sudosysgen 3y agoPublic opinion of Stalin actually improved and are overall positive in many ex-communist states, and outside of the Western world opinion on Stalin is not terribly bad, or even positive, again depending on the country.
- lukan 3y agoThe only country I know, where Stalin is openly admired by a significant proportion of the population, is russia. "overall positive in many ex-communist states" So examples please?
