People (many of whom feature in the decrypts), as well as the New York Times, have praised Stalin as a champion against Naziism. Both enslaved and murdered many millions of innocent people and one shouldn't use one evil to defend another. Besides, they were in cahoots with each other (Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) until Hitler screwed his buddy by invading the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941. One is reminded of two bank robbers fighting over the loot. BTW, Communism and Fascism are the same thing: Stateism, the supremacy of the State over the individual. Communism and Naziism aren't antagonists, they're rivals for the same thing. My wife's grandfather survived a Nazi concentration camp. Her grandmother and other family members fought the Nazis as partisans in Italy, and her great uncle, Walter Audisio, was the guy who killed Mussolini.

This is fun, I love history!
