How would "Stalinism" be an apologetic term?— With this claim, I. S. Kowalczuk propagates disinfo & I wonder, to which objective (if there's one). "Stalinism" was employed by Stalin's comrades/inner circle & foreign spectators; it wasn't designed to separate commies from Stalin.
In fact, it was a word coinage analogous to "Leninism", purportedly being a systematic way for dealing with the world. To emphasize ideological grounds and personality cult features in Soviet political culture by no way implies denial of its mass-movement nature & public support.

This cheerful & vivaceous guy...
is V. Inozemtsev - one of "exemplary" Russian gov. critics, endorsed by R. Fuecks (🇩🇪Greens' party) & author at the latter's LibMod. Let's look at his attitudes on Russian colonialism & his plans for 🇷🇺's future. #goodRussians#RussianColonialism
It's true, Vladislav Inozemtsev rebukes Putin for what he considers "bad" for Russia's development. Westerners might conclude he refutes Russian imperialism, too, yet that's not the case!
