Rodnik posted:How many lives were saved due to decreases in infant mortality, and increased access to adequate medical care? Improvement of working conditions? You can't really use newborn life expectancy in a vacuum like that, it's a very misleading number. If Russia had a life expectancy of 44.4 years in 1925, and everyone else was at 70 or whatever, that still sucks, sorry. And 1958 is after the discovery of antibiotics, something Stalin had little to do with. Plus I'm sure there would have been ways to achieve that without forced labor and political execution; most western countries did after all. Your argument is basically a Russified version of "but Hitler also did some good things for Germany!"
