Stalin managed to kill some ~50m people. On anyone's books, that's genocide.

That’s completely fake info, @valued-customer. You are believing western propaganda. There are birth record that clearly disprove this lie that you have accepted as truth.

How does people falling for propaganda make their national leader a NATO minion?

That is done through social engineering: Putting people in big cities where they are completely dependent on the corrupt bureaucratic structures, devoid from their historical identity, and in the end result is toxic individualism – a single person not aware of his community, its interests, and his/hers own rights… When petty, selfish individual interest become more important than everything else, that always lead to disaster.
