Title: Time Person of the year 1942 Post by: Koen on 16 February 2009, 23:22:33 Time Person of the year 1942 (http://www.time.com/time/subscriber/personoftheyear/archive/stories/1942.html)
didn't know that and it really surprised me ??? Title: Re: Time Person of the year 1942 Post by: Alan65 on 17 February 2009, 23:11:39 I find it interesting that the write-up mentions "only Stalin knew how close the USSR had come to collapse in 1942" and "only Stalin knew how he did it"--from what I've read, in late '41/early '42, Stalin basically shut down and holed himself up in his dacha waiting for officials to come get him to be 'purged'. I'm not surprised that Stalin was Man of the Year in 1942; I'm a bit surprised (or worried!) about how this mass murderer is remembered!
