AFP. 4 March 2003. Majority of Russians praise Stalin's role in history. MOSCOW -- More than half of Russians think Joseph Stalin played a positive role in Russian history, according to a new poll published Tuesday on the eve of the Soviet leader's 50th death anniversary. Fifty-three percent said they thought he played a positive role, while 33 percent said they thought he played a negative role, the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research found. Fourteen percent said they could not answer. Some 36 percent said that "despite his mistakes," Stalin should be celebrated for his role in leading the Soviet Union to win World War II -- up from 31 percent in a 1998 poll. Some 27 percent said they viewed him as a murderous tyrant, while 20 percent said they viewed him as a wise leader who led the Soviet Union to superpower status. The research center interviewed 1,600 Russians from February 28 to March 3, ahead of the 50th anniversary of Stalin's death on March 5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
