Christian Analysis

-          Does the end justify the means?

o   Does Stalin killing millions of people in death camps yet being a key player in the end of World War II does it mean he is good?

o   Is Stalin then any better than Hitler himself?  Who also killed millions of people?

o   Is Stalin the Hitler in the enemies own territory, on the allies side?

-          We are unable to see inside of Joseph Stalin’s heart for only God can do that.  Because of this it is hard for us to look at the true meanings of his motives.  However we can be sure that God will turn all good to our benefit so you can kind of look at it in this way, that even though he killed millions of people God used Stalin and his position of power to end a World War II, which was really a continuation of World War I. 

He also help put into action the Soviet space plan which has lead to a numerous discoveries and the information that we have today.  Because of this we have a greater understanding of who are God is and his awesome and wonderful creation.  He also promote with the buildings and such that people should use their gifts and talents to the fullest and we are now left with magnificent architecture from this time period.
