The West was a mere 30 years behind the USSR in terms of civilizational collapse, fascinating how in the 90s the West was so triumphant when at its core it had all the same flaws, chief of which was having an elite that hated, resented, and was totally insulated from the common people.
Looking at history knowing what I know now, I think Stalin was actually not who we were told he was.
If you recall Soviet history, for the first part of Stalin's reign, the jews ran rampant and destroyed a bunch of stuff. Then Stalin killed all of them and suddenly there was peace and prosperity in the USSR.
We were lied to about the 80s in the USSR as well. They weren't starving, and they weren't even that poor.
I think, in reality, Stalin may have saved Russia from falling down the hole everyone else fell into.
