If that headline doesn’t catch your attention, well, then you must not know who Joseph Stalin is. The leader of the USSR from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953 was responsible for killing more than 20 million people. His rule was marked by repressions, purges, show trials, the Great Terror, labor camps, the Gulag, man-made famines, genocides. Stalin was the mastermind behind the Holodomor, during which millions in Ukraine were subjected to death by forced starvation and through which he sought to destroy the Ukrainian nation. Stalin was responsible also for the 1944 genocidal deportation of another nation, the Crimean Tatars, from their homeland.
