0. My wish was to add soviet nation, and I will strongly against removing it.
(Yeah, I'm soviet ;) One of the reason is WW2 scenarios.
1. Stalin was _moved_ from russian.ruleset to soviet.ruleset (There was
no removing)
2. Stalin never was Russia ruler. But he was famous and popular Soviet ruler.
3. Juridically, Russian Empire, Soviet Union and Russian Federation are (and
were) three different states.
4. There were contradistinction* between Soviet Union and Russia in 20s-30s
and between Russia and Soviet Union in 90s... Yes, Soviet Union is a part
of Russian history. Yes, DDR is a part of German history.

* - official, ideological, history school-books' and other.

PS _All_ of my russian friends who know freeciv are for Soviet nation
to presents.

PPS Stalin is not undesirable ruler for me in the game.
