>then why tf u got statues of him
BECAUSE STALIN!

Stalin, in his infinite wisdom, wanted to nourish "local culture" of different republics in opposition to purely Russian culture, which he saw as "aristocratic" and\or "bourgeois".

Thanks, Stalin.
Much fucking appreciated.

Genuinely, the worst thing he's done.
I generally consider him to be "the best Soviet leader", and that's not a praise of him, that's a fucking condemnation of every other fuckface that took part in that particular circus.
