        He got shot in the head, and had a dictator take over the destroyed everything they were about even while wrapping himself in the image of the dead leader.

          Are you talking about the assassination attempt on him he survived? Because he never got shot in the head. Shoulder and part of his neck.

          Not sure what that has to do with anything “losing”.

          The USSR literally went on to be the world’s second largest superpower only a short time. Even after losing the most people in WW2.

          Without the USSR and the October revolution that formed it; we’d literally have a Nazi ruled Europe right now. There is no beating the Nazis in WW2 without the USSR.

          But I guess some whiney cunt like you can call all of that “losing”.

            He was never the same after getting shot in the head, was no longer in power, which was ceded to Stalin, who, and this is true, was a bastard that betrayed the revolution.

            Imagine being on Stalin’s dick, gtfo.
