Pic not related, right?
>>2731191
of course it's related. Stalin was in fact good guy but got bad PR due to le ebil gommunism meme. If not him USSR wouldn't industrial superpower like it was. It was rural shithole when bolsheviks came to power, and he fixed it. Thanks to industrialisation living standard in russia rised greatly, and thanks to industry they could beat nazis. He made his country stronger to the point it could challenge USA

His only crime was that he did not kill enough

Russia was undergoing industrialization before the revolution.
And about living standards, that certainly didn't apply to people who were victims of Holodomor, purges, deportations, gulags. And living standards didn't reach those of countries like USA.
And regarding being a superpower, I'd rather be able to eat than starve in a country with nuclear weapons.

As the other anon stated, Russia was already on the path of industrialization.
Also the Soviets never got even close to the goals of the 5 year plans and I think production increased by like 5% at best.
The Soviet economy was always inferior to the west and it only remained a super power because of its scientific and military advancements.

That's a buzzword that was used to refer to people who didn't want to undergo the regime's dreadful plans.
