In North America, Stalin was viewed as an ally and we were unaware of what he was doing in his own country. Remember CNN didn't have a report on every street corner back then. We had lots of information on Hitler, much provided by his own policies, and he was easy to vilify both in reality and politically. Some ideas were unpopular and so people were silenced by black listing etc. so their opinions weren't heard. Churchill said that the allied forces should have continued on, after the Nazi defeat, through Germany and straight in to the USSR and defeat Stalin if they wanted to insure world peace. Churchill was promptly shown the door. Stalin was a powerful man and, as I said, was an ally. We are only just beginning to learn about some of the genocide Stalin ordered. He also destroyed many Jews communities.

1) This is not a religion and spirituality question.
2) Stalin, like Hitler, murdered many Jews.
3) Stalin did not seek to eliminate all non-whites and non-Christians, unlike Hitler. This is why the entire world vilifies Hitler more than they do Stalin.
4) Looking at your question and answer history, I see you are a Jew-hating Muslim and a Holocaust denier. Nobody here wants your brand of hatred.

It probably isn't just the "jewish" thing, because Stalin's record with the Jewish people was not much better than Hitlers (although the Russian pograms were less methodical and sinister).
It is probably because during WWII and the movies made about WWII Hitler is the main bad guy. Stalin was an ally. We are all influenced by official and un-official propoganda (like Hollywood movies). Hollywood movies still pull out Nazis when they want really bad bad guys.

it's because history remembers that Russia was part of the Allies fighting Hitler.
If Stalin and Hitler were on the same side, he would be as vilified as Hitler.

This is very good question. I think it's because of the following:
1. Hitler killed Americans as well as many Europeans lives.
2. Stalin on the other hand only killed 20 million of his own people.
Humans have a really bad perspective when it comes to human life and who is more important that who when it comes to other nations and race.
If Stalin would have invaded Europe instead of hitler then we would all hate Stalin instead.
The same problem is in effect when it comes to Sadam he killed very few americans (directly) only his own people, Osama on the otherhand killed American's so he is hated
more.
It's a weird thing, but true.

its because of the fact that America was in a war against Hitler while during that time Stalin was our ally.

Yes, because of the Jews. Stalin killed many millions more than Hitler.

Because there was really no "official" number of Jew's butchered in the stalin regime era,and so hitler gets all the attention.

How is this religion and spirituality?
And yes, it's the "jewish thing". Because he burned people alive in ovens for gods sakes.
There is no worse man in history than Hitler. Not even Stalin.

No. Hitler was never an ally.
It takes time to shift gears from ally to nemesis.
