Sigh...

It isn't comparable.
Stalinism is evil, not only that, it is counter-revolutionary.
Stalinists had it coming.
And what the fuck is a "Westerner"?

I don't completely hate Khrushchev, but he used that speech to create a powerbase for himself. Westerners often look at Khrushchev as a great Reformer, but his crackdown of Stalinists had to be one of the most Dictatorial events in Soviet History. It is comparable to Stalin's crackdown on Trotskyists, and Brezhnev's crackdown on Khrushchevists.

Sarcasm? If Mr. Shepilov, who witnessed this event, thought it was worthy enough to document it, then I doubt it was really sarcasm.

I urge you to read some of the messages I sent you. Here is a taste of one.
"In his memoirs, Party functionary Dmitri Shepilov, recalled the 18th Party Congress in 1939, where Khrushchev lauded Stalin twenty-six times as 'our genius of a leader,' 'our great Stalin,' 'our beloved leader,' and so on."
Dmitrii Shepilov, The Kremlin's Scholar: A Memoir of Soviet Politics under Stalin and Khrushchev (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2007), 72.

Yeah yeah, Stalingrad, Stalinabad, Stalinstadt, Eastern Bloc cities named after him, etc.
This may or may not explain it.
"Stalin may have opposed renaming Moscow, but he apparently did not object when scores of other cities, towns, streets, squares, parks, factories and so on were named after him and when his pictures and statues became ubiquitous. Unlike Fidel Castro, Stalin did not do as much as he might have to discourage the cult that developed."

But he still had Stalingrad.
Stalinabad too!
And a few other places.
Stalins was not understanding, that's why he had military leaders and other advisors killed off, because he wouldn't ake other peoples advice(soviet).

Stalin? You mean the man who refused to have Moscow named after himself after the Politburo offered?
The man who once got into a heated argument, about the Cult the Party was creating for him, where he said "Who is Stalin? Am I Stalin? Are you Stalin? That's Stalin(pointing at a portrait)."
The man who once denounced a claim, by Kaganovich, that Stalinism was greater than Leninism?
Are we talking about the same modest and understanding Stalin, or the one depicted as a tyrant?
I support the creation of the Union State under the political and economic system of Belarus.
