Russians have dr a k themselves retarded....seriously.

Makes sense to me.

All the Russians who had a problem with Stalin got “handled” a while ago.

Nobody killed more commies than Koba.

He's the one who wiped the Bolsheviks out.

Time for a Stalin joke:

The ghost of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin appears before Russian president Vladimir Putin and says, “I’ve got two pieces of advice for you; kill your political opponents and paint the Kremlin blue.”

Putin replies, “Why blue?”

Putin replies, “Why blue?”

Because he knew there would no objections to the first proposal.

IIRC it was 'Lenin's Tomb' and 'paint it green' in the original version.

I don't find Putin to be Stalinist tho.

Putin is more of a Czar.

Hence why the nostalgia for Stalin amongst the complainers.

Not the real Koba, some sort of revisionist version who is like Santa Clause. Stalin Clause.

This is why Putin is cautious about going big with any military gambits.

That's how the Czar brought himself down.

He took personal command in the First World War.

As such, when things went badly, he couldn't blame the Generals.

Putin would have to be back against the wall first, before he would go for broke.

Stalin is making a speech to a full auditorium.
Suddenly, he's interrupted by a loud sneeze. Stalin stops talking and asks in an ominous tone: "Who just sneezed?" The audience is silent.

"Very well," says Stalin. "We'll do it my way, and believe me, I will identify the sneezer." The audience dares not speak.

"Very well," says Stalin. "First row stand up," Everybody in the first row does as they are told. Then Stalin says, "Guards, open fire!"

A dozen NKVD guards execute everyone in the first row.

"Now," says Stalin, "I ask once again, who sneezed." The crowd is silent once again.

"Second row, stand up," says Stalin, and everybody in the second row rises.

"Guards open fire!" and once again, the NKVD guards shoot the entire second row.

Stalin then says: "We'll keep going, until the sneezer comes forward."

Suddenly, there is a voice in the crowd. "I sneezed, Comrade Stalin."

"It was you, Comrade?" asks Stalin inquisitively.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin."

"Well then, bless you Comrade" says Stalin and then resumes his speech.

Stalin knew how the Czar brought himself down too.

This is why he was so ruthless.

He knew they would revolt against him some point.

Stalinism is the path of avoiding insurrection by sheer terror.

That's not realistic for Czar Putin.

Czarism is an illiberal democracy. Keep your base happy so they don't vote with their feet.

Did the world ever figure out what happened to Putin when he vanished for a few weeks?
