Was Stalin a churka?

Did Russians in Stalin's day had a problem with being ruled by a Georgian? Do some Russians living today hate that? Does anyone refer to him as churka? Sure the mutt Lenin was not a real Russian either, but Stalin was from the Caucasus and many Russians look down people from there.

Half Georgian but also half Osset. He was born into Orthodox religious family.

definition churka is more about mentality. for example bigger part of romanians here easily pass as churkas by behavour.

He was. Mentally, Stalin was not a European person.

True. He was Middle Eastern both by blood and mentality, not European. Same goes for Beria.

Yes, Beria was also a churka.

Stalin was a very educated man, he used to read like 400 pages a day. Churka is a definition of rather mentality than ethnic slur. If a Tajik or Dagestani has a good education, speaks Russian well, then no one will call him a churka. Many Albanians or Turks behave like churkas in this forum, although they have never been to Russia.

Now Stalin is my hero.
