    After killing many of his own officers, generals, and scientist. Did it ever occur to any of the Russian people that maybe we need to take this ******* out? It's amazing how much death one man with power can cause.

    from what I read, it was the randomness of the terror that seemingly paralyzed any opposition to him.
    Generals, politicians, nobodies, all subject to random termination...fear destroyed any such will I am led to understand.

    That to, but there was a lot of general support for him as well. He had a whole cult of personality thing going for him blahdyblahblah, just as Hitler had. Had he not had that then he would have been stuffed and unable to carry out the atrocities he did.

    Lots of articles, hey just go and get some statistics/articles on what current Russians think of Stalin. Do some freaking research or do you want me to find them for you? Its blatantly obvious if you just watch the news as well, doesn't seem that many Russians particularly care about democracy or dissenters being assainated does it?

    Its widely suspected that Stalins death was not exactly an accident and that there were groups that were opposed to him and eventually they managed to get him but it took allot of time and patience.

    Thank you.

    My point is, to make such statements or similar, follows the responsibility to supply sources or proof.. for your own good. Too many statements and stuff what people say in this playground does not come with any sources whatsoever.

    Credibility comes with just a nice little footnote

    BTW I decline with thanks any such remarks as I should "do some freaking research" when it is you who carry the burden of proof.
