Stalin, who had signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler tow years earlier, hid out at his dacha for eight days while German troops overran Russian defenses. Member of the Soviet Politburo left to run the government in Stalin's absence, found him at his home looking haggard, and confused. Initially, Stalin though they had come to arrest him, ostensibly for the dereliction of duty. Rather, his foreign minister, Molotov, simply said to him, "Get up. We need you." only than did Stalin rouse himself, and go toe-to-toe with Hitler for the next four years.
Putin's ally, Prigozhin, left the Ukrainian battlefield on June 22, 2023, crossed over into Russia, took Rostov-on-Don, and then Marched on Moscow. Putin, who fancies himself a latter-day Joe Stalin, went dark for two and a half days. Certainly, he knows about the stain of Stalin's abdication. Funny that he would repeat it, nonetheless. And, he still seems unable to shake it. Three days after finally making an appearance, he still looks "dear-in-the-headlights" scared.
In the end, Hitler killed over 20 million Russians in the fight on the Eastern Front, yet Stalin prevailed. Despite being nearly as cruel a human as Hitler, himself, Joe Stalin will go down as the man who brought Hitler's unmatched reign of horror to an end. Putin will not end nearly as well as Joe.

Yeah Man, leading a nation is in a league if its own, and on top of that, to be of an influence that has you among the lesser or worser of evil leaders to be matched against in history!?! What a legacy!! Putin is just as much a victim of human laws as the devil is of sin & evil, which EVERYBODY has been affected by since however far back in history you want to go for the cause. The devil's ticket is punched, but humans...well, we have a chance to still choose, if we're not part of the collateral damage due to the KINGDOM wars. Keep Bangin' Cuz!
