Answer 1

I don't know if he was evil but he was these:

1. Paranoid. He had his secret police wipe out anyone that could be a threat to his rule. And when they became a threat, he wiped them out too.

2. He made decisions on his own without any type of council. Nobody makes every decision right. But when you kill your own party members, any good advice is withheld I'm sure.

3. He was a purist. He killed Jews, Poles, & other impure races much as Hitler did.

4. When all is said and done, he ordered the deaths of from 20 million to 75 million people with most 'experts' claiming the 50 million range or so. So evil? Maybe. A paranoid, self-centered purist? Definitely.

Answer 2

He was a paranoid and brutal man. He was not defending Russia, he was defending his control of Russia. He executed anyone that might be a threat to his position. It wasn't until the Germans invaded that he started to realize that you need to keep competent people around, even if they're possibly a threat some day. After all, a "yes man" without the necessary skills is not going to get the job done.

So, I'd have to go with evil tyrant. His actions were generally self serving. To his credit I think he acted reasonably well as a leader against the Germans, but beyond that he was a heartless dictator. And even against the Germans he was mostly defending "His" Russia,

Answer 3

A dictator who killed innocent people just because they disagreed with his flawed communist system. Someone who cared far more about himself then his own people. A true communist system gives the wealth equally to everyone. Poor central planning and govt corruption led to Russia becomming very poor. The numbers say that in the 1950's Russias economy was wonderful.. This was ofcourse falsified information just for the sake of being better then the U.S.. He not only killed innocent people but he shielded his people from culture. This made the poor russians(witch constituted much of russia) ignorant so ignorant that they thought their poor living standards were better than that of the U.S. He was a crook, a blatant lier to his people, and a murderer. He was evil.

Answer 4

Adolf Hitler was a "boyscout" compared to Josef Stalin. Total evil incarnate ... raving alcoholic, sinister mega mass murderer, brutal to the nth degree, bank robber, sadist ...
He sent Russia (USSR) backward at least 100 years. The Russians have taken his body out of the Kremlin respected burial area and renamed all of the cities that he named. He was a curse and scurge suffered by Russia.
