It would be interesting to see how they explain away all the corpses.

....adding that Stalin did not commit any crimes.

Hah! Well, you could almost buy that this story could have come from The Onion.

You couldn't make this stuff up, though, could you.

magnanimous generally denotes "adding"

whereas Stalin seemed to "subtract"...

a LOT.

Like subtract a lot of family members from their families just to (falsely) "add" them to "Asylums".

And don't get me started on Tito (slavic lapdog of Stalin)...

Two ways of looking at this story;

The micro view is that this guy is just in denial about his Grandpa being arguably the most murderous tyrant in history.

The macro is that yet another crop of people who believe Marxist philosophy will work if only the right people are in charge are moving in, and cleaning up Stalin's legacy is in order.

LOL

obviously no one here has any BLOOD relatives murdered by Tito as the cocksucker of Stalin.

well, when that changes, the thread will get INTERESTING.

Would it really matter who murdered one's blood relatives?

The thing that frightens me the most is this snippet:

The libel hearing comes at a time when Russia, under its twin heads Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, has launched a campaign to rehabilitate Stalin. In school textbooks he is described not as a mass murderer, but a great, if flawed, leader who defeated the Nazis and industrialised a backward and agricultural Soviet Union.

Russia was taking great steps to modernize and shed its brutal roots until Putin took office...

In normal circumstances the libel case should fail in the light of the justification for that taken as offensive provided by clear documentary evidence of its truth. However this is Russia where the separation of government, judiciary and justice system has been seen to be increasingly less than robust in recent years.

More worrying is what DS alludes to (I believe), the reversion of Russian attitudes to their former state, that being that harsh authoritarian rule is not only satisfactory, but ideal and even natural. The reestablishment of such attitudes does not bode well for the Russian people themselves however much they appear to welcome it, but it bodes ill for the remainder of Europe especially when we are, or soon shall be, at the whim of such attitudes when it comes to our energy needs.

If there should be a hell, then I am confident that at whatever depth in the pit of filth and torment that Adolf Hitler has been posted, Josef Stalin will have been placed at some level below that.

Heavy on the denial with an extra dose of nasty and cruel.
