To quote the great philospher Wayne Campbell - not.

Is Stalin or Nicholas the Greatest Russian?

Via normblog, the Russians are having a national poll on who's the greatest Russian of all time.

The other, Joseph Stalin, developed the model for a totalitarian regime that murdered countless millions.
