Hi Peter,
You write:
"Thus, considering your love for Stalin and the Soviet Union found on his list,"
I think we must have a misunderstanding problem. I think Stalin was a horrifically brutal modernizing dictator like Peter the Great on speed and (hesitantly) that the USSR was an outgrowth of Russian peasant culture faced with modernity that appealed to peasant values to justify itself and probably appeared to some extent "natural" to people with that value system. Where does the love for Stalin thing come from?
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
