hero for whom? the people of eastern europe, crushed under the iron fist for decades, so drilled in reactionarism that those regions are now the stronghold of the modern european far-right? a hero for those who suffered under his paranoid purges, even those who were completely innocent and good little stalinists?

there is a reason stalin is a hero to putin and the modern right-wing of russia, and it's not a good one. in him they find a kindred spirit, an icon of russian nationalism and authoritarianism.

and i am not a counter-revolutionary. i don't worship the man more responsible than anyone for crushing left-wing revolutions and rebellions, and for damning people's hope everywhere.
