The idea is that most of the evils in Soviet Russia were caused by one man, and this line is fostered by a lot of people, from statesmen (who call on the present rulers of Russia to turn their backs on the wrongs of Stalinism) down to movie producers (who are dreaming up movies about Joe's crimes...
