Stalin killed indiscriminately [almost his only good point]. Most of the
Soviets were dirt-poor, so yes, the majority of his victims were poor.

If you accept that he was responsible in part for the war [and include
the victims of the A-bombs], millions; nowhere near the others though.
And I'm not sure there is a strong case for his being evil; merely stupid
and weak-willed.

Stalin was (if memory serves) his revolutionary "Nick name"
His real name being derived from an old Georgian name....that is probably far to complex to translate into English.
As for other names.....didn't he use loads?
Some thing to do with paranioa and codes?
Do I get a prize?

A better question is, 'if alive today, what would they be doing?'
Stalin: He's the homeless guy who sits in the park, swearing at passers by.
Hitler: Definately the crazy gay contestant on Big Brother 9.
Mao: The new owner of Manchester City.
