  1. Only a Russian would honour the memory of a genocidal maniac.

  2. Looking forward to the soon to be seen post – ”Stalin monument, erected by the occupiers, now demolished.”

  3. One of the few men as evil as Hitler being celebrated by the native country. 

    Absolutely insane

  4. One day the statue will grace the bottom of a sewage plant pool.

  5. It may not be a top military target, but I think it is worth a drone or two.

  6. and for some reason American conservatives are convinced that Russia is our friend….

    it makes me want to puke

  7. After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of:

    * 799,455 executions (1921–1953)
    * 1.5 to 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag
    * 390,000 deaths during the [dekulakization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekulakization) forced resettlement
    * 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s
    * The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million persons in the [Soviet famine of 1932–1933](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%931933) are sometimes included with the victims of the [Stalin era](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin_era).

    According to historian [Stephen Wheatcroft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_G._Wheatcroft), approximately 1 million of these deaths were “purposive” while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility. This list includes only officially recorded deaths while some historians believe the number to be higher than 20 million dead.

  8. Stalin is the greatest slayer of ruzians so far .. so it’s extra weird

  9. A monument to the devil himself – a mass murderer, perpetrator of genocide, and one of the main reasons WWII happened in the first place. Yep, sounds normal, indeed, he really embodies all the ‘best’ russian values / s / not /s

  10. Good thing it’s small. It will fit right in up the ass of whoever erected it

  11. I hope to see it pulled down by a bulldozer when the city is recaptured.

  13. “Fuck the Pope! How many divisions does the Pope have?”
