re: You are from Russia, and you think that Stalin was not as bad a Hitler.

it has nothing to do with been russian but more to do that I am a Jew from Minsk. Before the war Minsk was called a Jewish city by many and after the war there were only few left.

You hear about Stalins horrors on occasion and I have heard of it all my life or at least when I was in Russia so I am well aware what kind of monster he was. But Stalin never tried to exterminate the whole race of people no matter how much he disliked the Jews (also historical fact) nor did Stalin had well organized plans in reduction of population as Hitler did nor did he conducted gene pool cleaning as Hitler did.
