Like Winston Churchill, his accomplice in genocide, Stalin, who was born in Georgia and led the murderous Soviet Union from 1924 until he died in 1953, was an enthusiastic wine drinker and collector.
This may go some way to explain why Churchill expressed no regrets over the carnage of World War II. Why would he regret having so successfully accomplished all he had set out to achieve? Such was the appalling misery heaped upon mankind, it would have been perfectly natural for any government leader, regardless of political persuasion, to express remorse.
