I don't think it's a fallacy, Lenin did not carry out with a communist state and they got Stalin.

    Lenin established a socialist state, and Stalin was the second head of state in said socialist state. They did not reach communism, as communism must be global and fully collectivized, but they did reach socialism as a transitional state between capitalism and communism.

    whom western liberals will never, ever forgive for beating up their friends in 1945

    "Believe in"? Like, as an article of faith?

    Please don't tell me you believe in the liberation of Auschwitz and the toppling of Nazi Germany, I guess?

    "believe in" as "think something is true" or "recognizing the veracity of something"

    Okay, then i would counter that Stalin Good because of the defeating the nazis and ending the Holcaust. I'm not sure why we would be talking about the accomplishments of millions of people as if one guy did it, though.
