The main question I think would be what if Hitler would have won the war!

I do remember a document where a guy said that after a Stalin speach they all had to clap for more than half an hour like they clapped and clapped and clapped even if they were tired they had to keep clapping and of course one would be tired enought o stop clapping and then the police would take that man who stopped clapping first and arrest him!
That sounds like a true story. Stalin during his purges was absolutely crazy. People would disappear in the middle of the night and never be seen again. Little girls would go on trial even for plotting against Stalin and stuff like that I think.

And then he chucked loads (millions) of people in the Gulags to die. He also made his people work like dogs for very little reward.


But Stalin wasnt all bad news. Some of the stuff he did helped prepare Russia against the Nazis.
