Critic: Some writers have questioned Stalin's sanity during his last years. ████ █████████ █████████████ ███ ██████████████ ███ ███████ ██ ██████████ ███ ███████ ████████████████ ███ ██████ ██████ █ ████████ ████ ███████ ██ ███ ██████ ███████ █████ ████████ ██ ███████ ████ █████████████ █████ █████████ ███ ████████ ███████ ███ ███████████ ███ ███ ████ ████████ ██████ █████ █████ ████ ██ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ █████ ███████ ███████████████ ███ ██ ██ █ ██████████████ ██ ████████ ███████ ██ ████ █████ ███ ██████ ████ ██ ██████
Some writers think that Stalin's sanity was questionable during his later years. These writers explain Stalin's misdeeds as “paranoia” and “morbid suspiciousness.”
The critic comes to the implied conclusion that Stalin’s cruelty was not due to a decline in sanity. One piece of evidence is that Stalin was as cruel in his early years as in his later years. Additionally, all tyrants must be “morbidly suspicious,” because otherwise they would not remain in power.
We need a statement that the critic and writers disagree on. They disagree whether certain characteristics of Stalin could explain why he was such a cruel leader. The writers think that Stalin’s characteristics could explain his misdeeds, while the critic thinks that Stalin was always a cruel leader.
