Someone else already pointed out the issues with D&D style alingnment. Even following D&D alignment, I would think Lenin's and Stalin's positions would be swapped. Most of Lenin's time active as a revolutionary was overthrowing the tsar, which definitely went against the law. Much of Stalin's time as a revolutionary was as general secretary of the new society the revolutionary workers and peasants built, so he was operating within the law. If this was limited to Stalin's work before the founding of the USSR this would make more sense, but people on this chart come from a bunch of different times.
