Brezhnev is a hero of our time! :) Or at least of the last century!
What are you getting at? If you're talking about Brezhnev, I don't think he was crazy when he was in power. His inner circle did everything for him, and they did the same thing as now – they grabbed as much as they could. Only now they grab strictly according to the hierarchy, with the President at the head, and back then it was chaotic and without Brezhnev himself.
"The king is made by his retinue" – this has always been the case and probably will be, we just don't know anything...

That's not necessarily true. A Tyrant creates a retinue.

They didn't distort anything. There was just no other way to build communism.
There wasn't. Because first, they hoped for a socialist revolution worldwide, and then they suddenly realized that their utopia wouldn't work... Lenin, towards the end of his life (he died, I think, in 1924), understood this mistake and wanted not pure communism in the future, but with elements of a market economy (NEP reforms). But Stalin decided that socialism (which, as is known, is the first stage of communism) could be built in a single country (it's as easy as pie...). This is the key mistake, in my opinion. :cool:
And Brezhnev wasn't a saint either.
It's a pity about Brezhnev - there were high hopes for him!
Stalin was able to achieve this precisely because he was surrounded by such people.

Without a doubt. Stalin was surrounded by people who wanted the same things he did. If he hadn't had that circle of people around him, Stalin wouldn't have been given so much freedom.
if he and Vladimir Ilyich hadn't had the kind of entourage they had, the idea of communism would have died in its infancy...
and if Nicholas II had been an evil tyrant (aka demon lord :smile25:), there would have been no Lenin at all (execute the whole family together with his brother...)...:rolleyes:

if Nicholas II had been a tyrant, rather than a martyr, then the Socialist-Revolutionaries would have been primarily interested in his death, and not in the deaths of Prince Sergei and Plehve.
Well, you know that Stalin wasn't liked by many, but no one assassinated him! And Nicholas would have dealt with the scoundrels and that would have been it!

No one dared to criticize Stalin because there wasn't a suitable time. Before the war, it was terrifying to even mention the leader's name aloud; back then, even the walls had ears. During the war, you understand, there was no time. And after the war, he was criticized...
Nikolai just needed to be stricter...like Peter the Great, for example!:D
