Not AT ALL in the states. Because if we teach that Stalin is a monster, it throws cold water on our own portrayals of us as the liberators of Europe after WWII.

You can’t claim you’ve restored freedom to the European continent if you work out a political deal that effectively gives half of said continent to a murderous psychopath who has annihilated just as many people as the other bad guy.

I took AP history courses and we NEVER covered basically any Russian history.
