How do Russians today view Stalin?

Question

Do they see him as some kind of honored father of the nation or as the crazy mass murderer he really was?

Answer 1

Stalin was cruel, unpredictable and dangerous. For me he was the worst what happened to Russians in their history. He was not better than Hitler. Hate him, hate him, hate him, even after his death.

Answer 2

i dont know that is a really good question. my guess woudl be that the Kulaks view him as a mass murder. i dont know about the rest of russia's people

Answer 3

From the grave.  Few in history sent so many people to their death.
