While they're at it, they might name a street after New York Times Pulitzer prize winner/world-class liar and Stalin apologist (drumroll please)
Walter Duranty.
to defend Duranty (just barely)..he won the prize in 1932...before the purges and only a year or two after Stalin had really consolidated power. though I'm sure that was enouh time for Uncle Joe to do something or other that caused innocent Russian deaths. But the purges everyone talks about were in 36 or so.
