    I wouldn’t call seven million murdered corpses “rubbish,” but I guess we already knew how much Stalin valued his people.

    History teacher here. He is technically not wrong. Eventually, history will forget Stalin. It just won’t be in my lifetime, or anytime in the next several hundred (thousand?) years.

    I mean, humanity will go extinct eventually.

      In the meantime, thanks for teaching history.

      Quick question, do gloomy people naturally want to become historians, or did it kind of happen as you learned more about humans?
