Well yes, Stalin basically did everything Hitler did except Hitler only ruled for 13 years. Most of that time he did not execute people. Stalin ruled from pre WW2 to the 1950's when he died. Here is a figure from genocides alone Hitler killed 11 million people. Stalin kill over 20 million people.

Who is Hitler worse than Stalin?

Note: A lot of opinions. Some are below. It depends on how you define evil.Stalin:I would say Stalin as he was pure evil. Hitler was evil do not get me wrong, but Stalin hated everyone. Hitler had problems with the Jews and a few others, but Stalin persecuted his own people and others. There are more statistics on Hitler than Stalin. That is why more people might say Hitler for they do not know much about Stalin. Hitler is a household name, Stalin is usually not.Hitler:I would actually say Hitler was the more evil of the two. Like the poster above said, Stalin hated everyone, but Hitler targeted, isolated, and slaughtered one group of people. At least Stalin didn't discriminate.Hitler:Hitler plunged Europe into war as well as committing appalling atrocities. (Stalin did not unleash a major war). Hitler has become the #1 20th century icon (or symbol) of evil.Stalin:Although Stalin didn't cause a war he still sided with Hitler in the war. On top of that Stalin killed everyone even in his own army he had groups that where called blocks behind his soilders. They were ordered to shoot any troop giving up ground no matter what. Plus Stalin did start a war by him self the cold war!!!Hitler:There is all this talk about Stalin killed off his own fellow Russians - In actual fact he was betrayed by a fair number of his own fellow men who worked secretly for Hitler. When Stalin found this out, brutally and literally, lined those who betrayed them and had them shot. Everything he did was for a reason and people are too quick to jump to conclusions without fact. In all honesty, he can be seen as one of the greatest leaders of our time who took an undeveloped country and turned it into the greatest industrial country with one of the most powerful military forces to this very day.Stalin:Both Stalin and Hitler are both considered some of the worst leaders. Both instituted totalitarian governments and they both killed lots of people. Stalin would kill people, and then expunge them from all records, like in pictures. Hitler, at the end of the war, gassed millions of people. However, Stalin's communist policy also led to major shortages in food and caused tens of millions of people to starve to death. So, between Hitler and Stalin - they were both terrible leaders, I would have to say Stalin. Yes, Hitler was bad, but Stalin was worse! Wrap up:One can debate motive and intentions all day, but if murder is the greatest evil, then when the debate is said and done, Hitler is usually ascribed with about 15 million murders and Stalin with tens and tens of millions of murders.

Who was more ruthless Mussolini Hitler or Stalin?

Stalin killed the most people, and it made little difference to him what ethnic or religious background they had. He was paranoid and was determined to purge everyone he perceived as being an enemy of his. Mussolini and Hitler were racists and egocentrics in their own right.

Were Stalin's and Hitler's ways of killing different?

In some ways they were, and in some ways they weren't. Stalin, first of all, killed 40 million people, and Hitler killed about ten million people. Stalin killed people through agricultural and industrial production; he raised the quota on agricultural production, which caused a famine, resulting in 14.5 million people dying. The others were assassinated. Stalin was constantly paranoid and killed anyone whom he suspected of betrayal. He also killed many people during WWII trying to fight Germany because Hitler broke their pact and ambushed the Soviet Union (the territory Stalin was in power of). In other words, Stalin killed in careless use of war and famine. He was condemned of the action of genocide, which is what Hitler and he have in common. Hitler was considered more of a genocide killer (genocide is a planned and thought out method of killing a mass number of people). He dreamed of a "perfect nation" where everyone was alike. Jews, incurables (handicapped), homosexuals, and anyone against Hitler were placed in concentration camps in which they were tortured and killed. This was called the Holocaust, and cannot be explained in one simple paragraph; what Hitler did was the most cruel act known to man, and the Holocaust will always live in infamy. To answer the question, Stalin's killings were not as genocidal but were much more massive in number. Hitler was more of a racist person, who wanted to execute anyone that didn't fit his status of a perfect nation.
