The statue that's raising all the ruckus includes Roosevelt and Churchill, and is based on their Yalta portrait. Some say that Stalin is a huge historical figure, and needs to be remembered for the war.
I believe his crimes far outweigh his contribution to allied victory over Germany, but I'm not the president of Russia. If I were, I'd might throw a few Churchill statues up, but Roosevelt and Stalin I'd keep in the basement.
Lot's of old-timers still alive who associate Stalin with the 'good old days'. And they still vote, and march twice a year.
