Lavrov shamefully celebrates the founding of the State of Israel and Stalinist Russia's role in it,. while refusing even to mention the Nakba, the violent expulsion of nearly a million people from their homes and country. Nor has he said a word about the ongoing colonization of the remains of Palestine by fanatical, militant, terrorist "Orthodox" Zionists. who have already made the ridiculous "two state" idea no more than an idiot's fantasy. So that is where Russia stands.

Agreed but the “Stalinist Russia” trope is meaningless and therefore not useful in understanding post WWII history.
