Is Stalin in Hell?


"It's always easy to criticize" *

As the ruthless murderer of millions, there is no question Stalin merited being consigned netherward.   Moreover, as his daughter Svetlana's recollection of the dictator's death agony makes clear, Stalin himself both feared and raged against this judgment.  Svetlana recently died, after becoming a Catholic in recent years.   Francis Philips has more here.

  2. I should think Stalin's presence would be an additional reason to avoid hell, if one were needed. Thank you for the comment.
