…considerations. "When introducing Jimmie Moglia's video series about Stalin I promised to share with you my own take on this most controversial personality. Let me immediately say that what I will write below is most definitely not some seminal analysis of the life and personality of Stalin, but rather few more or less disjointed thoughts on a topic which I still feel that I do not understand. The figure of Stalin has always been a controversial one. Some thought of him as the "leader of all times and all nations" ("âîæäü âñåõ âðåìåí è íàðîäîâ") while other saw him like the epitome of evil, a genocidal maniac who killed more people than any other individual in history. In reality, that kind of polarization is probably a strong indication of the fact that this issue is a very complex one and that a simple black and white answer is unlikely to correctly evaluate the person of Stalin and his legacy. The fact that there really was a "personality cult" during Stalin's life and that it was followed by a emotional denunciation by Khrushchev only made things worse.

So this author of that article believes: "let's just summarize it all by saying that there were at least two main factions struggling against each other inside the Bolshevik regime: the Trotskyists, which were mostly Jewish, which had a rabid and even racist hatred for the Russian people and Orthodox Christianity, who had the full support of the West, especially western financial circles (Jewish bankers) and who basically ran Soviet Russian from 1917 to 1938 " and "I don't want to fall into the same trap as so many Jews have with their ridiculous insistence that "6 million Jews" were killed by the Nazis or that gas chambers were used to kill them." Wow, anti-Semite much??? |

I think that crosses over from anti-Semite to straight up holocaust denial. |
