Where was that letter that Lenin wrote that said something like Stalin was too soft?

And yes, if the Red Army wasn't exhausted and war weary they absolutely should have denazified all of Europe, and if Stalin wasn't such a big softie maybe the combined efforts of the PVA and Red Army aviation would have led to a unified Korea, leaving the PLA open to retake Taiwan. And if he purged all the capitalist roaders harder maybe the USSR wouldn't have fallen to revisionism.

This is all wishful thinking, can't change history, but maybe through the power of friendship we can purge even harder than ever before.

iirc there's an extended section from Molotov's memoirs where Molotov says that Lenin was much harsher than Stalin
