This is true, but on the other hand he did try to keep Stalin out of power; one the few that tried. Yes he was oppressive and ruthless in many contexts, in our standards out culture he was. If look at the times though, he had be ruthless. To play in the early U.S.S.R power struggles you had to be rough and tough. Although I do give Stalin the credit for taking a large portion of the Nazi's military force and able to survive. Stalin's red army was mostly the ones who defeated Hitler's armies in Europe, Only to be screwed out of his arrangement with the Americans and the British for help to rebuild after the war was won. Trueman and Churchill was a backstabber in all rights to Stalin, he takes most of the damages and get's no aid in return for his help to bring down one the most evil empires to ever exist on this earth. If you look at from a Russian stand point, Trotsky was almost a J.F.K to them I think.
