Thank you, will definitely give it a watch. I honestly don't mind "Stalin bad" because Stalin is a lost cause for the kind of people who rely on Wikipedia. Gotta choose your battles.
On the surface, yes, but also what good Stalin did and to a certain extent can be implemented in the future is very important for political education if you hope to turn your country into a socialist one.
If you won't believe the truth about Stalin you're definitely not believing the truth about the Holodomor.
People who believe 95% lies aren't going to be that much more amicable if we only push to correct 90% of them.
I agree that it is unwise to lead with or bring up Stalin unnecessarily, but I will not tolerate lies about him.
