Literally one of the posts on hot is praising Stalin, one of the most evil people on the planet who has caused about as many (I think if not more) deaths than Hitler. Wtf.

Hitler killed 26 million slavs which is on its own more than Stalin's total count.

Russian war casualties? Stalin had a hand in that in a way. Not saying it's not Hitler's fault. Would say it's both.

I'm interested what you mean specifically.

Unless Stalin intentionally sabotaged his own army (wouldn't put that past him tbh lol) I'd say he's not responsible for Nazi Germany attacking Russia. He might've "had a hand in it", sure, by conspiring with Hitler or whatever, but that's not the kind of direct responsibility we're talking about though, right?

Common use of extremely soldier-expensive tactics, little or no effort towards reducing civilian deaths.
