There's no need to leave monuments that remind us of the dark times in our history. In Germany, there are no monuments to Hitler, in Russia, there are none to Khan Batu (or whoever extorted tribute from Muscovy), and in Cambodia, there are none to Pol Pot, etc. All Stalins and Hitlers should have been torn down long ago, and we should forget about them as if they were a bad dream.

You are very original in your opinion of Joseph Vissarionovich!!! :smile30:
Of course, I'm not saying that he was perfect in every way, but he won the war, and when people shout at the top of their lungs that it was the generals or the people who defeated everyone, they are only partially right. As we say, the fish rots from the head... Let's move on. The people hated him so much that running from the battlefield was not an option. It was precisely the fear of this man that prevented many from retreating; the fear was greater than death. There's no need to mention that the generals were also very afraid of him. In other words, this man had such high authority that he could decide someone's fate with a single phrase. However, it was he who led the country to victory!!! Not Yanukovych, not Roosevelt, or anyone else, but him!!!
So, before you say phrases like "monument" and "destroy" in connection with Stalin, think about the fact that if we hadn't won the war, you would be a slave, waving a stick or something else over the head of some unknown person:cool:
