Biden isn’t calling the shots.
Biden is like Hirohito. He’s the placeholder, while the Generals were really running things.
Rise and Fall of Stalin by Robert Payne.
Are the ones you mentioned more recent? The one I read was written in the 1980’s I believe.
I would say Biden is more like the Chernenko of our times, you may faintly remember the guy, he filled in between Andropov and Gorbachev around 1983-85 and was also senile.
The only thing that may require solving about Biden is whether he knows what is actually going on, or comes into work thinking he’s in charge (when clearly he is not).
I suspect he doesn’t know and is too stunned to get it, probably thinks he is the greatest president since FDR and will be on Mount Rushmore. Obama meanwhile knows he will be on Mount Rushmore II, the four great modern presidents, it’s only a matter of time until that gets suggested. And you can guess who the other three will be — JFK, Clinton and Eisenhower to give it a cover of credibility.
Agreed,
Stalin murdered millions, Many of them Ukrainians via the Holodomor. And some wonder why Ukrainians want nothing to do with Moscow.
Biden is dementia addled and just does as he is told.
“Judge Amit Mehta”
I think I see the problem.
“When Stalin says dance, a wise man dances.”
Nikita Khrushchev
The whole story is essentially about US President Joe Biden and his family.

Obama thinks Mao’s Cultural Revolution was “outstanding”. Millions died. Obama didn’t/doesn’t have the power but if he did/does, he’d use it. Communists always kill when they can.
I once read that there are more books about Stalin than there are about anyone else except for Jesus Christ and Napoleon Bonaparte. However, most of these were probably published in the East Bloc.
Thanks for that information. I may tackle those books later on. Right now I am also reading a pretty good biography on Lenin.
Lenin: the man, the dictator, and the master of terror
By Victor Sebestyen
The key thing I have taken away from both books, in my opinion, is that neither of these people really believed the propaganda they were spreading. The only thing Lenin and Stalin were interested in was raw power and control. I don’t believe for a minute they truly believed in the Marxism and communism that much.
As an example Lenin when he took over, lived at the Kremlin, and he had a chauffeur driven Rolls-Royce to go around in. He had the finest food and luxuries. As did Stalin. They were the ultimate mendacious hypocrites, and the brutality they brought down on their own country, but shows how little they really cared. Millions and millions of their old countrymen died and they didn’t care.
