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.

Obviously it was implied that I meant the USSR times. I do have parents and grandparents that could narrate how awesome the gulags were.

Yeah I was joking about you being one hundred obviously, you are like 30 max, you lived through shock therapy and blame communism for it for some reason. Prisons do tend to suck but I'm not particularly interested in hearing your gulag archipelago tier "recalling" of those events.
