This is not a very useful defintion. As probably even you know, there
were Stalininst long after Stalin's death (and to make this joke, even
before him). This shows, that you have to give at least a brief
description of the actions of and their justification by Stalin.
Because most people who were Stalinists were convinced that this was
the correct communist apprach. Those who later on lost this conviction
were lost to the stalinist cause still to be defined by you.
