8. Actually, STALIN did a better job than Hitler:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin

"Regardless, it appears that a minimum of around 10 million surplus deaths (4 million by repression and 6 million from famine) are attributable to the regime, with a number of recent books suggesting a probable figure of around 20 million.<65><66><67><68> Adding 6-8 million famine victims to Erlikman's estimates above, for example, would yield a figure of between 15 and 17 million victims. Pioneering researcher Robert Conquest,<69> meanwhile, has revised his original estimate of up to 30 million victims down to 20 million. Others, however, continue to maintain that their earlier much higher estimates are correct.<70>"

However, while Stalin's betrayal of the Socialist underpinnings of the Russian Revolution were disgusting in the hindsight of history, you are correct, it is amazing that ANYONE in central Russia would support a Neo-Nazi party or philosophy. Maybe in Byelorussia, but not in Russia itself.
