Russian money wasn't worth shit anymore and people made 100$ a month to feed 3 to 5 mouths. I think that is the main reason people overthere now say "things where better under Stalin". Not to mention that the people now are another generation and most of them don't really know what it was to live under Stalin  Iraqi has got a better perspective in that case.

Time will tell. I was wrong about the numbers anyway, they were worse that I remembered...
From the Washington Times:
A March 4 report of its latest poll shows that more than half of all Russians, 53 percent, interviewed last month in 100 Russian towns and cities in 40 regions approved of Stalin overall, 33 percent disapproved and 14 percent declined to indicate any opinion. Poll conducted by the All-Russia Center for the Study of Public Opinion.
