Summary/Abstract: This is a polemical article written in response to the article published by Mr. V. L. Musatov – a historian and former Russian Ambassador – with the title:“Stalin’s role and the falsification of the history of the Great War for the Fatherland Defence”. Mr. Musatov means to deal with extremely important issues that are still essential for the proper understanding and evaluation of the European and world history. The importance of Stalin’s concepts and actions evidently cannot be ignored. Their predominantly negative appraisal is generally accepted considering him and Hitler the major negative political factors of the XX-th century. A general analysis of Stalin’s personality and implicitly of the USSR – the State he organized and ruled – still continues.
