    such a shame that he betrayed the revolution, but then again lenin wasn't exactly mr.nice.

    Anyway, what do you think, was he poisoned because he was 'going to start WW3' or did he just die of a brain hemorrhage?

    It's also ironic that the anniversary of his death this year is on Ash Wednesday, one of the holiest days for Catholics. Of course, we all know that Stalin was far from holy, lol.

    It had to be the jewish doctors that poisoned him! Just kidding! I've heard one claim that he was strangled by Lavrenti Bería, pretty far fetched but you never know what the chief of the NKVD would do.

    Well I guess we all owe him some respect (and I use that word loosely), he did win WW2. *

    I'll look forward to tomorrow then. It's such a shame he didn't die many years before.
    There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain

    Josef Stalin won nothing... 20 million dead proletariat of the Socialist Republics won that war and there probably would have been far less dead if that monster hadnt ignored a 101 intelligence reports at the start of the war along with all the strategic advice his commanders gave him, not to mention half his best commanders had been purged back in the 30's i dont respect shit about Stalin
