Your View: Who is the Most Evil Man?

We have done a number of lists on the site regarding evil people and they have always given rise to much debate, so it seemed like a good idea for our latest “Your View”. Tell us (and please give reasons) who the most evil man to have ever lived (living or dead) is.

My answer is Joseph Stalin. The reason is that his actions lead to more deaths than any other dictator in history. Stalin took a thriving nation and turned it in a nation of terrified people – the effects of his reign are still apparent today and it will be many years before Russia is truly restored to its previous greatness.
