Re: [OPE] Stalin voted third most popular Russian

 Jerry, this is fine. I did not want to start a debate. I just wanted refer to what I observed there.
I do not however agree with you that Red Army defeated German fascism "in spite" of Stalin.
This is a difficult issue and I do not want go into details. I find Cherchil's memories
(4 volumes in German) very illuminative in that regard.
Cheers, Dogan

Well, I think it would be more historically accurate to say that the eventual military success of the

Red Army?over?the Wehrmacht was not because of Stalin but in spite of him.
