| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Victoria Nikiforova [RIA] A native of the hero city of Odessa, philosopher Alexander Tsipko was outraged in his article by the fact that “the sacralization of Stalin has reached its apogee.” "Why do Russians admire a murderer?" — Doctor of Philosophy and Chief Researcher at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences asks us. The reason for this “I can’t remain silent” was a survey by a foreign agent “Levada Center”, which recorded what we all already know. 63 percent of Russians have admiration, respect and sympathy for Joseph Stalin. This is two and a half times more than at the height of the nineties. |

| #9 As a history student in college, I found Stalin to be one of the most interesting characters in all of history. Interesting, yeah. Fascinating. Kinda like a rattlesnake. Having said that, it seems to me that only someone who wants war would keep dredging up old grievances from a war that was fought 80 years ago. Can't we learn our lessons from that war without starting a new one? |

| #1 Given 20+ years of NATO's eastward expansion + countless USA sponsored coup attempts in former Soviet republics + psychotic Russophobia in Baltics & Ukraina (also sponsored) - only an idiot would expect Russians not to revert to their (historically justified) position "Either we're strong, or we're western colony". |
