I still disagree. "Nazi" is inherently evil. It's not a matter of individually objectionable leaders, it is a philosophy that is itself evil. Communism is not inherently evil. Stalin was about as oppressive and murderous as they come, but he's certainly not alone in history. He also doesn't represent the entire history of CCCP. There are plenty of Russians who'd like to go back to CCCP - and not because they favor gulags.
