    Lenin fought for the international working-class (the proletariat), and to extend communism to all countries. Stalin was counterrevolutionary, he sought to build communism within a country (not to extend it internationally) and to appease capitalism. Putin represents the regression of working-class consciousness as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The speaker was right when she said that Putin sees well of Stalin, and less well of Lenin. It’s kinda funny, on the one hand you have Western academics dubious about the overthrowing of the czar and class system, but in the same breath state how progressive the Soviet Union Constitution was.

      Yeah he was so ''counterrevolutionary'' that he refused to extend Russia's power to former imperial peripheries in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Baltics and Eastern Europe... :))

      I heard he's very popular in his Georgian village.
      I am russian but I personally support Russia exchange Chechnya for South Ossetia territories with Georgia. Since, georgians love cechneya and russians like south Ossetia . It will be a win win scenario for all of us .

      ​@@sirlordhenrymortimer6620 No thanks, Georgia doesn't seek to acquire others' territories, the best win-win scenario would be to just leave us alone with our own problems, you'd better deal with yours (which there're a lot). But I'm afraid that's an imaginary scenario for a foreseeable future, considering Russia's ever-present nostalgic dreams about ''the Empire'' (​Держава).
      P.S. Stalin might be popular among some marginal groups in Georgia (especially in his native town) but he's widely considered ''the greatest Russian of all time'' in Russia itself, and that says a lot. :)
