Without Stalin we may have lost World War 2... He was a cruel dictaror, killed anyone he felt a threat or traitorous to the country. He killed millions of russians, but Russia DID play a major role with the allies in taking over Germany. Hell, they fought on their own front, they helped us force Germany into a 2front war. Without Stalin I doubt Russia could have stopped Germany. Germany did get screwed by the winter, and German armies were crushing Russian armies all over the place, but If Russia had poorly trained soldiers in addition to ancient tech, Germany may have won despite the winter... They may have been able to take cities a lot faster and uses the Russians supplies as the cold weather cut German armies off from supplies from home. Russia and their willingness to burn their own cities just to stop enemies from supplying... You never know, maybe Germany never stood a chance because of the winter...

Something to think about i guess.. I'm not sure where I was goin with that. I guess I'm saying Hitler would have had an easier time with Russia had Stalin not been around.
