Unrest always draws dissent.
I would'nt make anything out of it personally, especially with citing a source from Wikipedia. Russia was hit hard by the economic crisis and everyone knows bad times draw out comparisons to the ''Good Times'' that always seem to be in the past.
Back when Stalin ruled, Russia was much more of a superpower than it is today and was held to a higher regard. Even if a Stalin-esque personality came to power, I highly doubt they'd have the wherewithal or the influence on an international scale to do anything on the magnitude that Stalin did.
