Point? What do you mean? They learned something! Something weird and interesting. Something most people don't know. It's what TIL is for.

As stated, it sounds as if it's saying "What a humble guy, this Stalin! Such a good chap, wouldn't even let 'the people' name monuments and achievements after him!"

I'm all about learning new things, but we need to remember the magnitude of suffering associated with the name "Stalin." The millions starved. The culture squashed. The promising country that suffers to this day under the memory of his iron fist.

Stalin is one whose memory should always be evoked with context.

edit: I stand by every fucking thing in this post, and want it known that Voat is downvoating me for it.

TIL you're not allowed to learn things about people who did bad stuff.
