What are your perceptions of Joseph Stalin as a leader?

  Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin terrorised his own people, but for the first time a survey suggests that most Russians view him favourably.

The respected Levada Center polled Russians aged 18 and above in 137 towns and cities in March. The result: 51% respect, like or admire Stalin.

In the 1930s Stalin's communist terror engulfed the USSR, sending millions to labour camps or firing squads.

But the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany is a source of national pride.

The Levada poll (in Russian) is the highest rating for Stalin in the past 20 years - a period that has seen his portrait reappear across Russia, often with official approval. New Stalin statues have gone up in various places.

One Russian newspaper carried the news with the headline: "Stalin the Superstar".

You can buy Stalin wall calendars, fridge magnets and other Generalissimo memorabilia in Russian shops, the BBC's Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.
