Actually no one is a saint, so...
Just look at history and learn from it, don't judge anyone or anything, just watch it as if it is good film.

stalin was a very great man

You are mostly right on Stalin but don't forget that he lead the transition of Russia from a crumbling second grade empire to a modern superpower. As I see many Russians are appreciate this and tend to forget the dark side of the process and all the hardships.

BTW in Hungary Attila the Hun is still one of our most popular "superheroes" however he and his lot wasn't a bunch of nice guys but he lead us from victory to victory, so I can understand if some Russians have warm feelings towards Stalin.

They banned the new horror movie produced by Ridley scott ..

The Russian government has banned the movie Child 44, considering that this Hollywood thriller about a serial killer in Stalin's USSR distorted the story of how "unacceptable" on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the victory over Germany Nazi.

Staline was a great and a nice guy ....

In 1936-1938, Stalin decided to eliminate its real and perceived enemies in a wave of repression. During the Great Terror, the entire Soviet society is concerned; victims of the Gulag are civil servants, members of the CPSU, the KPD militants who fled Nazism, officers, journalists, scientists and historians, most communist activists who made the revolution; practically anyone can be subject to repression. The period was marked by the Moscow trials and animated by the desire to kill prisoners directly or indirectly: "From 1937, he [Stalin] signed orders sent to the regional patterns of the NKVD, indicating people of allowances to stop (without specifying cause) in a particular région53 ". The Stalinist purges of those years were 35,000 dead and sent 700,000 people to the Gulag, which  140,000 polish , 172,000 ethnic Koreans in Vladivostok region and 30,000 Soviet citizens of Finnish origin of the province of Léningrad.

... In other words, do not depict stalin as dictator .. let's re-write the story ... when this one is ... a terror period.

.... funny really ... because all of us know that the Stalinist Russia, small or big brother of Germany  ( ribbentrop-molotov )

Russia first wanted to divide Poland ... with the help of Hitler ... when Hitler get enough power ... he simply wanted to kick Staline ... and of course ... URSS is the country who save the world ... why not ... in one another world.

Russia  was a country where the rules of law prevailed and the joy of living ...

After removed the statue of Tim Cook from the university just after he publicly explained he was homosexuel .... the common sense continue in Russia ...

Democratic country !
