Credit: Reuters/Sergei Karpukhin MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian liberals and communists clashed on Thursday over plans to set up information booths in central Moscow depicting Soviet ruler Josef Stalin's role in defeating Nazi Germany in 1945. World | Russia | Germany The Soviet Union lost some 27 million of its citizens fighting against the Nazis in 1941-45 in what is called the Great Patriotic War in Russia. But Russia's society is still split in its attitude to the wartime leader, with many accusing the Georgian-born dictator of forced collectivization and repressions in which millions died, including bloody purges of the army before the war. As the Kremlin sends out invitations to world leaders to attend a Victory Day parade in Red Square on May 9, Moscow officials plan to set up large "information stands" in places where Russian veterans traditionally meet their war buddies. Previously, veterans were free to attend the celebrations with their own pictures of Stalin if they wished, but this will be first time since Soviet times that the authorities will be providing information on his role, which remains an issue of heated debate in modern Russia. "This is an insult for the millions of those who perished on the fronts of this war due to Stalin's stupid and criminal orders," Lyudmila Alexeyeva, 82, a leading Soviet-era dissident said in remarks broadcast by Russia's NTV channel. "I am saying this only because my father was among those millions," said Alexeyeva, a recipient of the European Parliament's top rights award. But Russian Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov lauded Moscow officials for their "undoubtedly correct and courageous" decision to give out information on Stalin. The communists, Russia's largest opposition party, have used the historical yearning of Russians for strong rulers and nostalgia for "the great Soviet Union," which Stalin turned from an illiterate peasant nation into a nuclear superpower. COMMUNISTS REJOICE "For the first time over the past 20 years, we will brush off this hypocrisy ... when the authorities would forget to tell the Russians who was the Soviet Union's supreme commander and under whose leadership this victory was attained," he said in remarks posted on the party's Web site www.kprf.ru. "We must be honest to the end and recognize by declaring -- first and foremost to the younger generation -- that this great victory would have never been possible without Generalissimo Stalin," Zyuganov said. While recognizing some of the achievements under Stalin and his role in World War Two, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned last December against a generalized, one-sided assessment of his almost 30-year rule that lasted until 1953. Putin, who himself once served in the feared Soviet KGB security police, has criticized Stalin's bloody repressions of his own people and his decimation of the peasantry as a class. A new school textbook, compiled with the help of Putin's ruling United Russia party, mentions Stalin's repressions but at the same time depicts him as a talented manager.
