There can be no doubt that Stalin is one of the most notorious and controversial figures in history. He presents a puzzling paradox for both psychologists and sociologists; he was simultaneously revered, feared, loved, and hated during his lifetime. So much has been written about the life of Joseph Stalin and yet upon closer inspection, he still seems to present us with quite an enigma.
His cruelty towards his political opponents and dissidents is well known, but so are his efforts to go out of his way in lifting up the most downtrodden and desperate members of Soviet society, giving them the chance that Tsarist Russia would not.

O poder só corrompe os fracos.
Os poderosos já nascem com ele no berço.
Um dos mais temidos ditadores do século XXI, mas indiscutivelmente eficiente no ato de dominar o poder e usá-lo a seu favor.
