Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin’s official reign of terror ended with his death in 1953, but the effects of his autocratic rule continued for many years to follow. His lasting hold on the people of the former Soviet Union still lingers in a few brainwashed minds. In the article “Stalin’s Afterlife” and the movie “Russia’s War - Blood Upon the Snow”, Stalin is portrayed as the monster really was and should be remembered as. It said …

…who has always lived under a democratic government. The heinous crimes committed by Stalin are so far away from anything anyone of that sits in Lawrence Highschool complaining about having to learn about Stalin and the rest of history. Thankfully it is safe to say that hopefully nothing as horrible that which occurred in the Soviet Union from 1929 to the fall of communism, will ever happen to any American, and hopefully to no one else.
