<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Siberian Man, post: 1293892, member: 22500&quot;]Thank you very much, Sir for your opinion. But I see a several interesting mistakes. When You said about 40 millions sacrifices&nbsp; - do you mean 27 millions people that were murdered by a fascists at 1941-1945? Or no?</p><p>It&#039;s very interesting historical subject!</p><p>Let&#039;s try to imagine Soviet Russia at 1924 (when Vladimir Lenin has died and Joseph Stalin became the ruler).</p><p>1. Friends / adversaries&nbsp; a) friends: only Republic of Mongolia.</p><p>b)&nbsp; adversaries: UK, Poland, France, Hungary, Romania, Japan, Turkey, Italy. </p><p>&nbsp;2. Economy.&nbsp; a) hyperinflation, stagnation of industry&nbsp; b) primitive agriculture (no tractors and other agricultural machines).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>3. Army: no tanks (almost), no planes (almost), archaic naval fleet, archaic machine-guns, archaic submarines.&nbsp; </p><p>4. Social guarantee: low income of a population, low level of&nbsp; a medical guarantee, low level of an education.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>What J. Stalin did at 1924-1953 (until he was a ruler).&nbsp; </p><p>1. He made a new great army with a modern weapons (excellent tanks, planes, submarines, naval ships etc.) </p><p>&nbsp;2. He made an industrial revolution. Winston Churchill said: “Stalin accepted Russia “with an old plough” and gave with an nuclear weapon.&nbsp; </p><p>3. He made a very high quality of education for each people and great level of sciences (chemistry, physics, mathematics etc.) </p><p>&nbsp;4. He was the Commander-in-Chief during the WW II and USSR has won the war against the fascists.</p><p>&nbsp; 5. During his “reign”&nbsp; a corruption level was low. </p><p>6. No racism (for example, at the same time in the Southern states there was a racial segregation).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And let’s try to imagine what we are (Russians) have now! </p><p>&nbsp;1. Very high corruption level. </p><p>&nbsp;2. Rather low incomes.&nbsp; </p><p>3. Expensive food and petrol. </p><p>4. Racism (like in USA’s South at the XIXth century - almost daily attacks on Negroes) .&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And each normal Russian don’t like such a public phenomena. And that is why we have a nostalgia on Stalin who wasn&#039;t the racist, who wasn’t the thief and&nbsp; the exchange speculator.&nbsp; [FONT=&amp;amp]We simply were tired of bureaucracy, silly and greedy officials, thieves and racism.
