        Considering he never actually said that, I doubt it scared the Russian people who still mostly approve of him.

    WWII started with the Molotov-Ribbentrop secret pact signed on Aug 23, 1939. The pact was a secret agreement between Soviet Union and Nazi Germany for dividing Europe. In September 1939 soviet and nazi troops occupied and divided jointly Poland. There is a nice photo in the internet of a joint military parade in Poland.

      I’ve said Joseph Stalin was not stupid enough to start World War 3. He could during the cold war, but he knows what happened to Germany and Hitler after World War 2. Maybe you should re-read, there is a comma after the sentence.

    “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” Please at least write in the article that this is not an actual quote.

    The quote is often used as propaganda but has no historical evidence of ever existing. Just google the quote and there are several articles pointing out how the quote is fake.
