      Actually, Stalin would be Orthodox, which doesn't have a Pope. He could become the Patriarch though; it is essentially the same position that the Pope has in Catholicism but in Orthodoxy.

      Eli B Stalin didn’t “abolish” religion, but it wasn’t “secular” either. The USSR actively endorsed “scientific atheism” by funding the Militant Atheists and funding museums of atheism, etc. I agree that religious persecution in the USSR is not discussed honestly. Yes the Soviets seized their private property and (stolen) wealth. But they were Communists, ALL private property and wealth was outlawed and seized. Religious resistors were killed or jailed, but ALL resistors were killed or jailed. But you’re right, under the Imperial Monarchy, Russian Orthodox Christianity was the official religion, and heresy was brutally persecuted. Heretical literature was banned. Under Czar Alexander, a million Muslim Circassians were exterminated-men, women, and the boys. The young girls, faired a different kind of deprived violence.

      Eli B Secular states are neutral on matters of religion. The USSR has a secular constitution, but in practice it actively promoted atheism. After WW2 Stalin drastically stoped promoting atheism and rehabilitated the Orthodox Church. So during this period, you might call it quasi-secular. But the State still maintained tight control.

      Option of peace? Is there any option of peace during WWI? Civilian war in Russia? WWII, in fact WWI being continued several years after. Peace treaty after WWI had a lot of reasons to start a new war. Those who signed this peace treaty didn't make this a secret, that they will restore their armies to declare a new war, even deadlier. Peace was not an option for any country, WW2 is the evidence.

    Stalingrad was not defended so viciously just because it bore Stalin's name. But because it was a strategic transit road from the Caucuses to the rest of the Union and the USSRs primary source of Oil. Germany just needed to be starved of oil, so they could not let them turn the tables by taking the caucuses. It simply was a very strategic position. Saying that it was defended viciously just in his name is just an uneducated revisionism of historical facts and documentation.

      OZX7S You are completely correct, but I think that Stalingrad had more symbolic meaning to Hitler than to Stalin. Military historians say that Stalingrad was city no different from any other that Germans conquered earlier in their campaign, it could've been easily surrounded and cut of the Russian supplies and reinforcements and would have to surrender in a short time, but luckily for us, the good guys, Hitler had no clue in tactics and wanted to conquer the city, as I remember from documentaries, with air bombings and frontal assault... and that story ended in Berlin in 1945...

He did do megalomaniac things like invading Spain though. I also even though stalin was evil it helped protect Russians from a bigger genocide since all of them would of been killed by Hitler.

    Dear author! I understand that you probably cannot have other sources in your country that would not write about Stalin in a negative way, but I have to note many mistakes that only denigrate Stalin. Starting with the nonsense that the workers could be sent to the Gulag for not working out the norm. And ending with the fact that Stalingrad was defended only because the city bore the name of Stalin. Stalingrad was not defended because of this (why, then, was Stalino - now Donetsk not so stubbornly defended?) The reason for the defense of Stalingrad was that its loss would cut off the Caucasus from the rest of the USSR and free up some of the German divisions for operations in the Caucasus. And by the way, it was along the Volga that almost the entire UNION was supplied with fuel. So I advise you to check the sources.

    Stalin didn't die on March 5th, 1953, or, rather, we aren't entirely sure. He died somewhere between March 4th and March 6th I believe. He was found dead in his office, but he had not been seen for a few days, around three days I believe. No one wanted to barge into his office or otherwise disturb him, because that could lead to a swift execution, so people waited for a long time to check up on him, and when they finally did check on him, he had died. So in short, he may have died on March 5th, but we're not entirely sure. Just a little something I wanted to add ;)

    No. This is just a myth, that Stalin told to deffend Stalingrad at all costs. However, he said to protect the city at all costs. Because if they'd lose the city, Germany would get Caucasian oil, which is southern part of USSR, and Soviet oil industry would be destroyed. Which meant complete failure for USSR.

    Little clarification, it was never believed all the students of the Seminary would actually become priests. The Seminary was essentially the version of a prestigious private school at the time. Even funner fact.... Stalin's mother basically sold herself around town to afford the entry fees for young Stalin. Also, technically you had to be the son of a priest to enroll, which basically all but confirms his official father, a shoemaker, was not his actual dad lol.

      As a fun fact, Stalin didn't drink vodka. He pretended to, but drinking water instead. You can find this in Shtemenkos biography, who discovered the trick, drinking from Stalin's jar when he wasn`t watching. During a dinner, Shtemenko wanted to know what kind of liquor (vodka, he wondered) he was mixing with his wine. But Stalin noticed what happened (perhaps because the position of the jar, perhaps because of Shtemenkos face) and, smiling, he whispered: "careful, it's a very strong drink".
      Stalin was an amazing actor.
