Josip Dzugashvili, surely at least as evil as Hitler, probably never killed anyone himself, yet he was responsible for the slaying of some 20-30 million Russians .
Somehow, this holocaust doesn't seem to attract as much attention, though there were many Jews among them, probably because he took about 30 years to do it.
