What do you think? I think it would be nice of Harvard to sell the bells back to the Russkies when I consider who they got them from.

It would be great if the bells were removed from that God hating institution and restored to its rightful place of worship. Unfortunately, doing so would call into question the infallibilty of Stalin, which strictly forbidden by Harvard's official religion.

The monastery's original set was sold by Stalin to an American businessman at the height of the Soviet crackdown on religion.

Maybe someone with the initial "Armand Hammer"?

Didn't the Russian Orthodox Church receive oil money from Saddam Tikriti's terrorist regime??? What did they give Saddam in return??? Maybe the bells are better left at Harvard.

Harvard should offer to return the bells to the monastery.
