Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin has had an interest to me for many years. How is it that a man that kills so many of his own people by starvation can change the hearts of the survivors to love him? To me he was both a horrible person and a great leader. Yes, he did kill many people but he industrialized the Soviet Union, making it the power house that it is known for today. Here are some of his quotes that i have collected over the years to show people how ruthless this man was and yet look at his success. He helped defeat Hitler!
Stalin once said Death is the solution to all problems. No man, no problem (Brainy Quote).
One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. -Joseph Stalin
If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves. -Joseph Stalin
In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance. -Joseph Stalin
Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs. -Joseph Stalin
The only real power comes out of a long rifle. -Joseph Stalin
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do. -Joseph Stalin
The Pope? How many divisions has he got? -Joseph Stalin
The writer is the engineer of the human soul. -Joseph Stalin
We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns? -Joseph Stalin
