    70% good, 30% bad. That's the official Chinese stance on Stalin and it's a great way to get libs to think more critically about him. The guy made mistakes and he even acknowledged some of them ("dizzy with success" for example) but still lead the Soviet Union to great victory and successful economic industrialization. In Russia and former USSR he is far more often remembered and appreciated for these things than the times he had his political rivals shot or ate all the grain.

    After Stalin's death Khrushchev dumped literally everything wrong with the USSR on to Stalin for political gain (bruh you were literally First Secretary of Ukraine I think you would also bare some responsibility) and finally people are starting to recognize that it was just a heated Corn Lord Moment and his claims should not be taken seriously.

      “dizzy with success”
