Re the quotation attributed to Stalin, while there's lots of discussion, it appears that Stalin did use the quotation even before WWII, per this post in the conversation you link to: https://qr.ae/psV7pQ

Who knows, of course, whether he devised the quote, but you'll surely agree that coming from Stalin, it has a resonance far more memorable than in the mouths or writings of just about anyone else.
