Given that this community has generally positive view of Stalin, I’m curious what he did that my comrades find irredeemable or out of line. Since it’s easy to criticize the Soviet Union from a western perspective, bonus points if you explain how this was detrimental to the development of socialism and/or communism.
Nadezhda Alliluyeva. She was only 18 when they got married. Then she eventually killed herself.
Obviously I can’t say that it was his fault that she killed herself, or that he had bad intentions by marrying her. But I still judge him for it.
Edit: Seems this was a bit controversial. I’m not mad about it or anything, but I do wonder why. Please do feel free to share your thoughts and tell me why I’m wrong.
