I've often thought about who's the worst murderer in history. As terrible as it is to be targeted by race religion or income, Stalin often just did it at random, and killed them accidently for the most part. Mega-death by callousness. Can we re-animate these guys, so we can shoot them?

The Soviet leadership had a chance to execute him during the period immediate after the beginning of the German invasion.
He lost his marbles a went in a stupor. I guess they were still enamored and or afraid of him.

He was informed that the Germans were going to attacked and just did not believe it. Even Molotov failed to convince him.
One principal result: The Germans caught the air force napping on the ground and almost destroyed it.

All I'm saying is that an evil genius is a bigger threat.
