Excerpt from this article:
"Law student Mikhail Kosyrev used
to have a negative view of Stalin but his attitude has drastically
changed in recent years, he said, insisting the wartime tyrant meant
well. 'Over the past five years I've often watched
documentary films about Stalin, about that time on television and learnt
more about him,' the 29-year-old told AFP. 'And now I don't have any negative feelings towards him. He had good intentions.' Since
President Vladimir Putin took power in 2000, there has been a growing
chorus of Russians who take a positive view of the Soviet tyrant's role
in history."
