Joseph Stalin

I won't wright a piece on Mao Zedong who was a mass murderer.
He killed 30 to 45 million Chinese during Operation Leap Forward.
To this add 15 million killed in Tibet.

Only, the British killed similar number in mainland China and Hong Kong using two Opium Wars.
This is to take over Chinese Tea Industry.



In that sense Joseph Stalin killed only 6 million Russians. This may go upto 9 million premature deaths in gulags.

For anti-communist he was a mass murderer ( compare with Mao Zedong).
For most Russians he was a statesman and a nation- builder.

In Russia a Jew (Leon Trotsky) or Muslim (Chechens and Tartars) can live with equal dignity provided they do not propagate disorder.

Similarly Orthodox Church operate in Russia, unlike in China (10,000 Buddhist temples were destroyed by Mao Zedong) there is no freedom for religion.
