Russia did defeat Germany and it was probably Stalins total disregard for human life that led to their success Probably not so. Stalin did not play a major part in defeating Germany. Before WWII, he slaughtered thousands of military officers that he suspected to be still loyal to Leon Trotsky who had been exiled by Stalin. The Great purge occurred which many officers were convicted of treasons had weakened Russia. It could be said that Russia wouldn't have so many death if Stalin wasn't the leader. Any competent leader would defeat Germany. The factor do not lie in Stalin or any other leader but the strength and size of the Russian army and how overstretched the German army was. The German army was overstretched and they were not equipped with proper winter clothes and were devastated by the overwhelming troops from Siberia and the eastern side of Russia. The bottomline is not in Stalin so Russia would have defeated Germany no matter who is the leader. Russia has 2 great Generals: General January & General February.
