Joseph Stalin
AKA Koba, AKA Uncle Joe. Stalin translates to Man of Steel. ... His father, a cobbler, dies when Stalin is 11. ...
However, a poll conducted by Russias Public Opinion Foundation in February 2003, finds that more than half of all Russians surveyed view Stalin with ambivalence or as a positive force, with 36% saying he "did more good than bad for the country". ... While 27% describe Stalin as a cruel and inhumane tyrant, 20% say he was wise and humane. Sixteen percent predict that another Stalin will come to power in Russia.
Comment: The name Stalin conjures an image of Big Brother - a cold, calculating yet ultimately paranoid tyrant never seen but seeing everything in an Orwellian world of terror and betrayal.
