Under Putin criticising Stalin is seen as an attack against Russia. Now there is half a generation of young people not aware of any wrongdoings by him. But it is not only the lack of education. You always have the wilfully ignorant who dwell in romanticised versions of the past or those who knowingly act in malice. The latter is really funny to me. They kinda think they are exempt from any oppression until the shit show inevitably hits them too.
