There are people and epochs in history that are never entirely put to rest, chief among them the figure of Stalin. Among many Russians today there remains a nostalgic longing for the strong-arm figure he represented and for the leader who brought victory in World War II. However, for many he was the pathological dictator who sent over 20,000,000 to their deaths in the gulag, who placed artists in cultural straitjackets, and who created unprecedented famine through forced collectivization. Was the Stalin era a collective love story or the pathology of a mad man? These are questions to which we may never have complete answers, yet they may tell us much about Russia today.
