It's a good point, actually. For some reason whenever I see a 'stalin-based' nickname I don't bat an eyelid, doesn't even register, yet when i see a hitler one, yeah, I think it's wayyy out of line...interesting. I've studied Russian/Soviet history and it's fair to say Stalin was a bigger monster than Hitler, by quite some margin as it happens.
It's likely to have something to do with Hitler being the aggressor, and his very...showy leadership style, speeches, rallies and so on, if you compare that to Stalin who was pretty much a shut-in that no one really ever saw, puts Hitler more in the spotlight for the blame and hate I suppose.
