I am just telling you how things were from the perspective of someone that lived those times

Stalin was definitionally not a dictator

I am just telling you how things were from the perspective of someone that lived those times

You both were talking about Stalin and living through his dictatorial times? He died 76 years ago and if you lived through it I assumed you were an adult by the time he died.
