Apparently during his "State of the Union" address one year, he came out and everyone started clapping. However, everyone in attendance was afraid to be the first one to stop clapping in case he noticed and thought they were disloyal, so they all kept clapping. No one would stop. Eventually, they had to ring bells to let everyone stop clapping at the same time.

Now that's power.

Yeah, but I only saw the last 20 minutes or so, after they had gained the love of their people.

That reminds me, Mr. KcMizzou.

There was this other time when Stalin was a little boy and his mother agreed to let him have a sleepover, so Stalin invited about 8 of his friends from school over to his house. The kids were reluctant at first because the Stalins were poor and their house was basically an old, drafty, stone hut, but finally they all agreed because they didn't want their families killed. So they came over to Stalin's house about 9:00 and they all played games (which they let young Stalin win) until the wee hours of the morning when they finally went to bed in their sleeping bags.

The next morning, each boy was afraid to be the first one to wake up in fear that young Stalin would think that they weren't comfortable sleeping on the cold, dirt floor. They would have laid there all day if it hadn't been for Stalin's mom who started bashing them all with a frozen halibut because they were taking up so much space. But Stalin killed a couple of them just for practice anyway.

Whenever Krushchev took power, one of the first questions he was asked was, "How could you let Stalin do all of those horrible things he did."

He responded by screaming, "WHO SAID THAT!?!"

Everyone in the crowd went totally silent, to which Krushchev replied, "That's why."

Its amazing what fear will do to people. Machiavelli said (when it comes to keeping a secure position over as leader) it is better to be feared than respected. I think, horrifically enough, Stalin is a great example of this in work.

I concur. You either kissed his ass or you were shipped to a gulag in Siberia. It was that simple.

****ing Ann Coulter said that Truman was affectionate to the guy and called him "Uncle Joe".

Dumb skank.

I watched a program on either Discovery or the History Channel about the underground bunkers Saddam built in Baghdad. Pretty amazing. Practically an underground city ...

If you saw some of the shit this Country has built underground, it would blow your mind before scaring the piss out of you.

I was watching a program about how Stalin offered the prisoners in the Soviet union to fight for our homeland and after the war they will granted a full pardon.

So a lot of them did.

Guess what, after the War was over Stalin had them thrown back in the prison system when it ended.
