That Stalin nearly won the Greatest Russian poll says a very great deal. The supporters of Georgia in her war to exterminate the Russian citizenry of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, natural and historic parts of Russia annexed to Georgia by Stalin (a Georgian), should certainly think on.
As should, insofar as they are different people, the enemies of the present Russian Government. Only Putin and Medvedev stand between, on the one hand, a UN Security Council seat and a nuclear arsenal, and, on the other hand, the totally unreconstructed Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
That is the real world, and I almost wish that Stalin had won, in order to bring certain people into that world. Others, of course, are beyond hope.
