Y Stalin? Stalin ruled by ideology and terror, Putin
rules by non-ideological logic. To make clever nontrivial comparisons
you better learn from BBC's James Reynolds:
"Each commands the loyalty of more than a billion people. Each is
governed by a leader chosen in secret by a small group of its senior
members. Each lays out a set of moral guidelines that its followers
should live by. The Vatican and the Chinese Communist Party have quite
a few things in common (apart, of course, from a belief in God...)"
