Given that this community has generally positive view of Stalin, I’m curious what he did that my comrades find irredeemable or out of line. Since it’s easy to criticize the Soviet Union from a western perspective, bonus points if you explain how this was detrimental to the development of socialism and/or communism.

    I don’t disagree with that assesment. However, let’s not forget he made that agreement with Churchill 6 months before the US bombed Japan (the infamous Percentages Agreement). He could have at least tried to talk with the rest of the Allies about it.
