Usage Note
Stalinista follows the -ista pattern, which is invariable in the singular for both genders: il/la stalinista. The masculine plural is gli stalinisti, the feminine le staliniste. It functions as both adjective (regime stalinista) and noun (uno stalinista convinto, a convinced Stalinist). It can also be used hyperbolically for any very authoritarian political style.
Examples
"Era un convinto stalinista negli anni Cinquanta."
Natural Translation
He was a convinced Stalinist in the Fifties.
