Their dominance was confirmed when, by way of example, I measured the attitude of users towards the most controversial person of Soviet history, Joseph Stalin. Searching for the key word ‘Stalin’ on VK identified 887 related communities: only three of them declared a predominantly critical, anti-stalinist position, and only one of them enjoyed wide popular (the community ‘Joseph Stalin burn in hell’, 2,101 members). On the other hand, one of the numerous communities in the glory of Stalin, ‘Joseph Vissarionovitch Stalin in our hearts’, counted over thirty-two thousand members.
