>Stalin is remembered first and foremost for the great purge of 1937, inducing famine in Ukraine and displacing people en masse.

That's in other countries. In Russia he is remembered for WW2. Official narrative is something like "yep, he killed some people and was wrong sometimes, but they were reabilitated some 30-50 years after, so what's up", BUT he won WW2.




No, what I said applies specifically to how he is viewed by Russians. Not the official media, but the actual people.
