Was there ever a more fearsome person in history?

but how did people percieve him in the soviet union?
like what did the peasants think about him? and the military? and the politicians?

yes. he might be fearsome for us that know what he did. but not everybody at the time knew, so was he fearsome back then or was he the beloved leader?

>man who killed 15-20 million people wasn't fearsome because he was average height and had weak moments
>>3002987
Well my question depends on hindsight obviously.
But yeah, he was feared by those who knew him.

>>3002957
Probably Ghengis Khan. He comes riding up people just kill themselves to avoid suffering at the hands of the horde

>>3002977
Are you dense?

Wow. Attractive.

Stalin was actually pretty short, kinda fat, and had a double chin. he knew this so he kept his head in a certain position to hide it. So, not that menacing.

Ghengis Khan, Alexander III of Macedon, Atilla the Hun, Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Vlad III, and Ivan IV.

Those men sent shivers down people's spine when they're names were muttered.

Pretty widely beloved by everybody except Ukrainians, Jews, and the intelligentsia
