Not denying his accomplishments, but like, the contrast is that modern Russia is not doing any of that. Living conditions are slowly getting eroded by neoliberalism and have been for years. We’re experiencing a housing crisis, wage stagnation, degradation of the social healthcare system, etc etc
And Stalin is not being rehabilitated/“brought back” for the good parts, but rather because he tightened the screws against dissidents, foreigners (incl rootless cosmopolitans), queers, and other undesirables. As a rootless cosmopolitan myself I rather dislike those parts of his legacy and don’t want them keep happening

I agree with a large portion of what you said here, but I fail to see how that is relevant. The person I responded to equated Stalin with Hitler.
