Wikipedia profile on Hitler brands him a "Dictator" while Wikipedia profile on Stalin protects and promotes him as a "political theorist" and "leader".

"General Secretary (1922-52)"

[edit]

Position of General Secretary was abolished in 1934 and he continued on as a "First Secretary of the CC of the AUCP(b)" 5.151.189.241 (talk) 13:05, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: the AUCP(b) didn't have a superior rank in the secretariat after 1934 until Stalin's death. 5.151.189.241 (talk) 20:06, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Stalin was the subject of a pervasive personality cult within the international Marxist–Leninist movement, which revered him as a champion of socialism and the working class. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Stalin has retained a degree of popularity in post-Soviet states as an economic moderniser and victorious wartime leader who cemented the Soviet Union as a major world power. Conversely, his critics accuse his regime has been widely condemned for overseeing mass repression, ethnic cleansing and famine. For most Westerners and anti-communists, he is viewed overwhelmingly negatively, while for significant numbers of Russians and Georgians, he is regarded as a national hero and state-builder.

Change the second to last sentence: "Conversely, his critics accuse his regime has been widely condemned for overseeing mass repression, ethnic cleansing and famine" to: "Conversely, his critics condemn his regime for overseeing mass repression, ethnic cleansing and famine" Sansbs (talk) 03:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"millions of deaths."

[edit]

The phrase is used twice in the introduction. How can we change it up to improve the flow of the article? I'd either suggest removing one of the instances of the phrase, moving it to a different part of the article, or re-wording it. What do you think? 1101 (talk) 06:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
