Re: BCB's Look into History: Joseph Stalin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#Number_of_victims- Early researchers of the number killed by Stalin's regime were forced to rely largely upon anecdotal evidence, and their estimates range as high as 60 million.List of places named after Stalin (What an egomaniac).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_place...ed_after_StalinOraşul Stalin, 1951-1961 ?

Duna?jv?ros, Hungary He turned Russia from nothing into a world superpower in 30 years. He killed tens of millions of people, he was paranoid about people being against him, he killed most of his advisors over his 30 years and he made his son the youngest general in the military and he's quoted as saying 'i'll only be alive as long as my dad is living'...When Stalin died his son was thrown in prison and his family was deported...probably the most evil man to ever live...I don't think he gets enough attention in history classes in this country.
Re: BCB's Look into History: Joseph Stalin Russia was on "our" side durring WWII, so that probably was somthing to do with it. Satlin was insane, but he did lead the USSR to the #2 world power, probably because of all of the murders. Still, he was in the same cataglory as Hitler (maybe worse), but more people know of Hitler because he was the US's enemy and it was so publisized during the Nourimberg trials Hiter gets off much worse that Stalin.
Re: BCB's Look into History: Joseph Stalin Russia was a part of helping us winning World War Two, that is why Stalin doesen't get paid attention to much, just like kevin said
Re: BCB's Look into History: Joseph Stalin Yeah, he helped us after Hitler turned his back on him. If Hitler was still with him he would've never helped us. So i say f*ck him.
Re: BCB's Look into History: Joseph Stalin The weirdest thing about this guy was what he'd do to his advisors who he killed. He wouldn't just murder them, he would make it so they never existed. He'd burn their body. He'd destroy all records and photos of them. He'd kill their family.
