>>11966016I cannot express in words how much I would like Stalin to be alive.
I have yet to find such an efficient statesperson as him in human history.
He literally picked up the biggest feudal country in the world and turned it into an industrial power in 20 years. At what cost? At the same cost than the western countries, except the profits weren't stolen by a few.
While the USSR was struggling to create farm cooperatives, Hitler's Germany was already building tanks for the war. Despite this, Stalin managed to design the T-34 and overpower Germany in the war.
Fuck, when the war finished he was practically forced to wear the white Generalissimo suit against his own will. Not to mention that every single time he told the Central Committee he wanted to retire they didn't allow him to do so.
Back in 2017 I visited Russia for the first time and found myself with my fist on my heart and tears rolling down my cheeks in front of Stalin's grave.
