of course the clearly rational stance is that Stalin was merely a representative of the will of the proletariat. Such as the will of the millions of the proletariat to be sent to hard labor. In this sense in no way is Stalin a tyrant of any kind. Added to the fact that all those proletariat had in their will an action to be shot upon retreat. International war crimes were also the will of the proletariat, nothing more. Stalin was merely a conscious leade-i mean representative of the will of the working class. As such he is certainly not to be considered as an individual holding power.
