The Russian provinces are begging for Stalin to come and save them, as he did in World War II.
Stalin is a God in the poorer parts of the former Soviet Union. A deity. Go to Georgia, which has practically no electricity today due to the catastrophe of the breakup of the Soviet Union, and people will hand you books on the glory of Dzhugashvili and Beria, Georgia's brightest stars.
