Neo-Stalinism in Russia today

[Austrvegr]

Stalin's mass murders were 'entirely rational' says new Russian textbook praising tyrant

Why is it worse than praising genocidal Anglo capitalism?

[Methuselah]

When Germany first attacked the SU. he was surprised they attacked so soon and even got a bit nervous since he didn't see the SU as prepared for WW2 yet. If he thought that Germany attacked too soon, there is no way he would send his military to break the pact and attack Germany. He saw his own countrymen as disposable garbage so I doubt he cared about Poles dying.

After the war was over, the SU made all of Eastern Europe and East Germany part of it's sphere of influence. I don't get what you mean by "after the war was already over".

No he did not care about Poles dying or about Jews dying in Warsaw.

By "after the war was already over" i meant that there must be a reason why Stalin didn't help Poles in Warsaw. He was holding his forces during the Warsaw Uprising, despite his army being so close.
I believe one theory suggests he wanted Germans to destroy Poles and pave the way for him. Could be i got it all wrong...

Why he would have cared those? He did't even cared about his own people...

Yup. Some believes: country is existing for its people; others believes people are existing for the country.

There is no such thing as a "country" in Bolshevism even. That's being too generous.
The revolutionaries were internationalists and sure as fuck weren't fighting for Russia.

Stalin didn't help Poles in Warsaw.

Should he?
You did not help african children that died when you were writing this post, should you be ashamed?

So you call those guys (Red army)....who attacked to Finland (November 30th 1939) as Bolshevicks?

Finns? Hardly. We call Bolshevicks those forces which tried to influence Finland at 1918 (Finland's civil war time).

Speaking about neo-stalinism we need to look down through history of Russia.
300 years ago Russia already had 'Stalin' he is now called Peter the Great. Peter was viewed as vulgar and rude tyrant by people who knew him and those who lived shortly afterwards. His image was extremely negative untill Catherine 2 campaign of whitewashing of him started. In 19 century Peter became not tyrant but 'controversial' tsar, who may had some shortcomings but so does great achievements. In 20 centrury bolsheviks, who were too geniune supporters of tough decisions and permanent solutions, evolved Peter into 'greatest' tsar ever lived (prio to bolshevik take over ofc)

Stalin may follow the same way. Firstly he was all round winner, he did not lose anything nor ever backed down. Secondly current regime is struggling with economical crisis and drop of public support, so advocating 'tough' policies combined with achievements in the past contribute to justification of current regime's breakdown of public freedom and democracy.
