Stalin's USSR did a lot of pretty bad stuff from what I understand, and this is just one example of which the drum was recently beaten due to the CIA's Ukrainian Maidan (to drum up anti Russian sentiment of course). Putin's Russia is worlds away from Stalin's USSR, in time, intentions, deeds, and the experiences of the nation's people - Russians have been through hell and back like few in 'the West' ever have; I am most interested in contemporary reality for obvious reasons. The contradictions, deceptions and lies in the Western MSM dialogue are shameful. The CIA's coups are shameful. The West's sanctions against Russia are shameful (notwithstanding that Western firms, Western farmers and the Western financial system are all taking the greatest hits from those "sanctions"). Compare America's foreign minister Kerry's current "Russia played a constructive role in Syria" with modern history: http://russia-insider.com/en/john-kerry-would-be-butcher-syria-forced-praise...
