I think that because Stalin has been treated better than Hitler by History he’s a worse figure. Because Stalin’s evil isn’t as widely know (at least not in the UK) Stalin is still quite popular, despite being just as bad if not worse than Hitler in many aspects. (Jesus it’s hard to argue Stalin is worse than Hitler without seeming like a Nazi)

Lol, I think Hitler actually were slightly worse but that the fact that Stalin still is popular in some places while everyone hates Hitler muddles the whole thing.

And Mao wasn't better then Stalin either, he is still very popular in China even though he was a madman.

History is biased, archaeology isn't. The history books have always been written down by the winners and a lot of importtant facts have been removed for political reasons. It is even harder when we go back in time past the 19th century and we might have a single biased description of what went down.
