The question. Did Russia improve because of Stalin, or despite him?

It seems pretty bad. Mass destruction of administrators and veteran officers. Famines. Squalor. Inefficiencies.

But one must admit, Russia did improve, did industrialised. I'm fairly sure those of 1900 would not have guessed that Russia would actually become a superpower in its own right.

So. Thoughts?
