    Statues torn down, towns renamed, and his legacy dismissed.

    Sure Stalin did some things questionable by modern standards, but he led his nation in the ultimately victorious fight against the Nazis! Surely it is PC gone mad to say we should destroy records of his time in power.

    Funny that Mao's face is still on every banknote in China, even though his legacy there is mixed and controversial.
