He was one of the INFAMOUS European leaders [with Hitler] of the 20th century. Stalin was one of the most powerful dictators the world has ever known. His impact on the 20th century was possibly greater than that of any other person... Lots of people hated him, lots of people feared him, but there were even some of those people that respected him for who he was as a person...& they respected him because he had power & they had power too... which, that sounds insane... but whatever floats their boats!

This is the same answer as the last question. He is important for who he was, as a forceful leader.
 * ==//Why is he so important that we have to learn about him, exactly?//==
