However, Aliaksandr Lukashenka seems to have an opposit opinion.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said at the meeting with the regional activists of the United Russia party that Stalin and many other then top officials cannot be excused for waging war against own people.
“Not only Stalin, but a number of other state leaders deserve the harshest possible appraisal for what was happening back then. They cannot be held accountable, but it is exactly so,”Russia Today quotes him as saying.
“This must stay in our country’s annals and it must never be repeated. Because the war with one’s own people is the gravest of all crimes,”the PM added.
On October 30, Russians commemorated the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions.
Belarusians commemorated the victims of the Stalinist repressions two days before, on October 28, with the traditional annual rally Dziady. The next rally is going to take place on November 4.
However, the executions of Stalin’s times are not subject to censure at state level as Belarusian does not. In fact, Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka seems to take a liking to Stalin which he said in several his interviews.
He mentioned the USSR tyrant recently at the press conference for Russian regional journalists in Minsk in mid-October.
Then, Lukashenka expressed his concern about lagging far behind Joseph Stalin or Bolshevik Revolution leader Vladimir Lenin.
They should not be demonized, he stressed.
“They were our leaders: Lenin created the state, while Stalin strengthened it.”
He noted that his opinion about the two Communist leaders is different from that in Russian society.
“How will we be assessed in 50 years? If a trend similar to that in the West is supported, then I would be worse than Stalin: who walked the streets, caught people, ate them – particularly women,”he noted ironically.
