While I agree with you, I must say in The Red's defense that he never said that Tsarist Russia was worse than Stalinist Russia, just that it was worse than the USSR in general, which, before, after, and even somewhat during Stalin's regime, is true.Compared to Stalinist Russia, Tsarist Russia was paradise! You didn't have millions of people killed every year. You didn't have the kind of terrorism that was rampant in the USSR at the time. Stalin's NKVD made the Tsarist Secret Police look like choir boys. Tsarist Russia was a hellhole but Stalinist Russia was an even worse one.
