There is an incredible story yet to be told about how Russian patriots hid inside some of the Russian institutions (Orthodox Church) and stayed underground, maintaining their culture, even while under oppressive Soviet rule.
There is also some weird stuff about Stalin possibly playing Communist factions against each other while harboring a secret nationalist group, very much like Xi appears to be doing now. Can't wait for this sort of truth to be revealed. It is going to be fascinating.
Anytime the media all agrees that someone was a monstrous "dictator" and then pushes the narrative incessantly, suspect there is more to the story. EDIT: "more to the story" does NOT mean "Stalin is a good guy"
