The Soviet Union is still not dead yet... KGB agents like Vladamir Putin and his cronies are making sure that the 'dream' of Soviet domination of the world will not die. Vlad is planning on running for 'president' once again...
Now there is no shame for the despot of Russia to openly praise the evil Stalin... It seems Vlad wants to learn a thing or two from Stalins iron grip on power in the Soviet state...
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6943477.eceJoseph Stalin sent millions to their deaths during his reign of terror, and his name was taboo for decades, but the dictator is a step closer to rehabilitation after Vladimir Putin openly praised his achievements.
The Prime Minister and former KGB agent used an appearance on national television to give credit to Stalin for making the Soviet Union an industrial superpower, and for defeating Hitler in the Second World War.
In a verdict that will be obediently absorbed by a state bureaucracy long used to taking its cue from above, Mr Putin declared that it was “impossible to make a judgment in general” about the man who presided over the Gulag slave camps. His view contrasted sharply with that of President Medvedev, Russia’s nominal leader, who has said that there is no excuse for the terror unleashed by Stalin.
Mr Putin said that he had deliberately included the issue of Stalin’s legacy in a marathon annual question-and-answer programme on live television, because it was being “actively discussed” by Russians.
