No thanks on that media driven hate. I won't ignore that they were instrumental in destroying Nazi Germany and ridding their country of Bolsheviks.
You cannot separate Stalin from Putin as casually as you seemingly believe.
Strange position you have there. Do you know that many Russians believe that the US let them take the brunt of the Nazi’s attacks at a great loss of human lives? They resent us for that(and many other things).
My position on Russia was formed by research and actually being in Russia.
