The warrior state, which defeated the invasion of the united West, outlived its Supreme Commander-in-Chief by only 38 years - a meager period by historical standards. Stalin did not have time to build a state - a sacred temple. As it turned out, too much depended on the role of the individual in history, and without it it quickly deteriorated and collapsed. And the revolutionary Dzhugashvili turned into a red emperor, punishing the detractors of Russia, bit by bit recreating and increasing the greatness and glory of the Soviet Empire, whose anthem began with the words “united forever Great Rus'.” Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin is a horror for domestic Russophobes and an enduring nightmare for “our Western partners.”
