Here, too, Putin tries to walk on both sides of the street, calling Koba a tyrant to sooth the wounded feelings the Baltic leaders, yet instantly qualifying his remarks by saying that Stalin was no Hitler. Can we really compare the degree of evil of these two men?
斯大林是另外一个值得珍惜的角色范例。在这里，普京也同样试图两面都不得罪，称Koba为暴君以安抚波罗的海领导人受伤的情感，然而又马上修饰他所说的话，称斯大林决不是希特勒。我们真的能够将这两个人的罪行做比较吗？
