Joseph Stalin’s legacy in the West is wone of egotistical villainy at an extreme level. However, when Russian historians discuss him he is a completely different person.

Someone might be baffled as to why there would now be countless monuments to Stalin being erected all over Russia. But if you watch this video about where Western information about Stalin comes from, then you will see why there is such a massive dissonance about this particular figure.
