So, this picture here shows Stalin looking rather handsome I may say? Well, at least he looks better than when he had a weird square moustache. When I found the picture, it also had a write-up on Stalin's affair with an underaged school girl, specifically thirteen years of age, and how he had actually got her pregnant.

Suprised? Shocked? I felt sick in the stomach just reading about this. Just to give you the gist of the story, this story had first surfaced soon after he took over from Lenin as Soviet dictator in 1924, appearing in the "scurrilous" tabloids and emigre journals in the West that were banned in the newly-formed Soviet Union. Of course, during his reign of terror no one dared talked about it lest they wanted their names next on the death list.

It was initially dismissed as just another piece of Western anti-Stalin propaganda. But after Stalin died, his successor Nikita Khrushchev decided he had to investigate the astonishing rumour about this man and it was found out that this rumour was actually true.

When I first read this, I felt so disgusted. All this while, studying about Stalin and his rule on Russia, I always had the impression that he was this weird inhuman leader, who was so unnaturally obsessed with power that he was uninterested in any other things. However, this article proved me wrong. I'm not sure about how true this article is, but after reading this all I could think of was " is it even humanly possible for someone to be this evil, cruel, cold-hearted and inhuman in his ways of dealing with fellow human beings?"

I dont know what you all may think, but personally I feel revolted in the way Stalin treats the people. Killing millions of people, torturing and mistreating them. Married twice, even driving one of his wives to suicide, and having an affair with a thirteen year old girl and in the end abandoning her. Of course, this happened before the bolshevik revolution. And from this we can see its a perfect example of how, Stalin makes use of people and when they are not in need anymore or he feels they are a hindrance to him and his grand plans, he just gets rid of them as if they were dirt.He uses and manipulates people as if they were just merely insignificant chess pieces in a game of chess, and when they have fufilled their duty their kicked out and in the end, all glory goes to Stalin.

I think there's only one word to sum up this man really, inhuman, absoloutely inhuman.
