I've read about Stalin raping a 14 year old girl while on the run from the Czar. Is this true?

    That would been early in his life yeah? A man with an 1700s education, after a life of abuse and misery who's primary job was robbing banks might do bad things. For sure any soldier is likely to commit any number of sins aside from murder. The important data to consider in this is that it doesn't matter. Capitlaism sucks, the ussr was good, and debating century old gossip is pointless nerd shit. What could it mean? It couldn't be usefully used to think about anything today. It is only brought up as a smear taxtic. He never owned slaves so he would be better morally than american founding fathers. Every single US politican is at best a date rapist. So it doesn't matter.
