Other Stalin apologists believe that he was some sort of ascetic, completely dedicated to serving his people. His selfless nature, they believe, is proof that he was not a dictator because dictators have to acquire vast personal wealth. This is not only beyond the definition of what a dictator is - a leader with total power - it ignores the fact that he was the richest man in the entire Soviet Union. No one had more than he did. Yes, he had but a simple three-room apartment. But this was in a time when whole families lived in single rooms of communal apartments, and Stalin's three-room apartment was in the Kremlin. With obedient servants. He was also the ruler of all he surveyed in the rest of the country, including dachas and vacation properties. Stalin was also a leader who never missed a meal or a drink, despite the fact that millions of his people died of starvation.

A tinpot dictator in a small country hoards money because they want to buy things with it, and because they know that they will need it if and when they are deposed. Stalin didn't hoard money because he didn't have to. There was nothing the Soviet state had that he couldn't make his own, there was nothing else in the world he wanted, and there was no chance of anyone else taking power from him. He knew he'd die with his boots on, and he did.

That's all of it
