TIL according to declassified Soviet archives, during Stalin’s great purge of 1937/1938 over 1.5 million people were detained, of whom 681,692 were shot (an average of 1,000 executions a day). In comparison, the Tsarists executed 3,932 persons for political crimes from 1825 to 1910.

It took them two decades age difference between Stalin and his wife to realise he wasn’t, uh, a good guy.

Credit to @storywonker for finding this gem.

Commies be like “I can excuse his collaboration with Hitler to invade Poland, his deliberate starvation of eastern Europe, and the gulaging and cold-blooded murder of anyone who questioned him, but I draw the line at an age difference between him and his wife!”

It does not help that Stalin shot her!
