斯大林在处理苏联民族问题上有功有过,贡献是巨大的,错误是严重的。斯大林继承和发展了马恩、列宁有关民族理论的思想,被公认为马克思主义民族理论家;帮助少数民族发展经济,促进民族地区语言文化事业的发展。但,他的民族理论也存在缺陷,将阶级矛盾同民族矛盾混同,在处理大民族和小民族关系的实践中出现失误,导致大俄罗斯主义倾向严重,破坏了民族平等。 Stalin’s contribution to the succession of the Soviet nation has been enormous. The mistake is serious. Stalin inherited and developed Marx and Lenin’s ideas on national theory and was recognized as a Marxist national theorist. He helped the ethnic minorities to develop their economy and promote the development of language and culture in minority areas. However, his national theory is also flawed. When class contradictions and ethnic conflicts are confused with each other, mistakes in the handling of the relations between the large and small ethnic minorities have led to serious inclinations of Great Russia and undermining national equality.
