Image of Russian mourners at Stalin's tomb sparks debate in /r/russia

If you're unfamiliar with /r/russia, it's the English language subreddit for Russia. However, it's mostly users from the rest of Europe, and then North America -- reddit just isn't popular in Russia.
As I noted elsewhere, this is sad and disgusting. Russia messed up big-time by not removing those busts and the mausoleum in 1991.
You are sad and disgusting.
Stalin's communist regime killed a lot of people BUT if not that tough regime USSR would lose the war to Nazi Germany.
That is extremely debatable. Because of Stalin's forced famine and otherwise murderous policies, the people of the Ukraine and the Baltics greeted the Nazis with flowers.
More debate in the /r/europe thread when sorting by controversial.
