Possum P’s Reviews > Another View of Stalin > Status Update

it's wild to me that people are picking up a book that's intended to be a defense of stalin and complaining that it doesn't disparage him. the author's intent is to address common "criticisms" (lies) about stalin, that doesn't mean he thinks stalin is perfect. martens also shows how the task of running a soviet state is many people's responsibility and its failures/successes can't be attributed to one person.
