There are certain things the Russian people respect Joseph Stalin for: due to him the USSR became a world power and was able to withstand the II Patriotic War (and to free Europe from fascism as well). You might say, the whole power and strength of the USSR are embodied in Stalin's personality. Isn't that enough to consider him one of the greatest Russians (better to say – Soviets)?
Yulia says
Are you kidding????? Russian government did all it could to publicly show Stalin as "good", but he was horrible!!!! Russians hated him, and we still do! We just couldn't say anything bad about him, or any other government official during the Soviet times. If anyone would have said anything bad about him, would have been killed immediately, he was a very mean dictator.
Political Hack Elect says
His remains were removed from the Kremlin Wall and put in a shaft,

Yeah, when you hear of polls like that coming out of Russia it really makes you wonder about their current state of education and how effective their political manipulation of blind nationalism is. How we react to this poll kind of reminds us of how the rest of world viewed the USA the last time Bush got voted in, really.

It is the same as George Washington, a Virginian, being elected as the first U.S, President. Georgia was at the time, a state of the USSR

The same reason why many Americans think Al Capone-Jonh Dillinger-Jessie James, And Mexicans think Pancho Villa-Zapata, and English think Sir Francis Drake-Henry the VIII, and the Spanish think Cortez, and, and and …
"Home town (neighborhood/country) Boy", good or bad is irrelevant, powerful and famous is. Close is good enough, Hitler was Austrian.

i have no idea. i think when they were asked the translation got mixed up.

He was also a mildly genocidal murderer (Ukraine), but Russia needs to distract people from its government corruption.
-edit- Madd Vladd : While you were busy trying to insult the intelligence of conservatives, you inadvertently screwed up your own grammar to the point of being incomprehensible.
iwasnotanazipolka says
Well he did lead the USSR, much of which is Russia. And apparently they have extremely short memories.
Madd Vladd says
It is the same way as Conservatives see Bush has intelligent just doesn't make sense.
But to be fair a good majority don't think Stalin was a Great Russian just the right wing nuts in Russia praise the man.
