Stalin, meanwhile, is enjoying a revival; several statues are planned in his honour and a museum is being opened next month in the city of Volgograd, previously named Stalingrad.
Are they all wrong?
Let me answer your question this way. In and around the city of Volgograd (Stalingrad) there are hundreds of monuments to the war. NO WHERE IN THE CITY OF VOLGOGRAD, OR AT THE STALINGRAD MEMORIAL ON MAMAEV HILL, OR IN THE MUSEUM IS THERE A STATUE OF STALIN, AND THE WAR HAS BEEN OVER FOR 61 YEARS. LAST YEAR EVERYONE WAS WRITING IN THE NEWSPAPERS THAT STALIN WAS BEING REVIVED IN RUSSIA, AND A MONUMENT TO STALIN, ROOSEVELT, AND CHURCHILL WAS BEING ERECTED IN VOLGOGRAD. THE DIRECTOR FOR THE MOUNUMENTS FOR STALINGRAD LAUGHED WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT, AND STATED HE WOULD NEVER APPROVE ONE. AT THIS TIME FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE SEEN THERE ARE THREE MONUMENTS TO STALIN IN ALL OF RUSSIA, TWO IN SIBERIA, AND ONE IN MOSCOW WITH THE NOSE BROKEN OFF. BASED ON THAT INFORMATION IT WOULD BE MORE LIKELY THAT MONKEYS WOULD FLY OUT OF LENIN'S BUTT THAN FOR THEIR TO BE A REVIVAL OF STALINISM IN RUSSIA.

You're quoting NPR? Are you sure you're on the right forum?

So, museums about the Holocaust means that people want it to come back too?

And all of Russia was reverting to Stalinism, or so it was reported in the past. Russia is not reverting to Stalinism under any circumstances....PERIOD. When the museum is built then I will believe it, but that doesn't mean anyone will attend it. You really need to get a life.

There is a slight difference between Yad Vashem and a museum glorifying Stalin.

You really need to get a life LOL... I haven't heard that expression since I was about nine. Hardly very charitable from someone who supposedly has dedicated his life to propagating Jesus Christ.
To: propertius
Where did you ever get 'glorifying' from. If the museum is honest he will look to be the murderer and cad that he was.
To: HiTech RedNeck
the deputy of Usik, the man who has Stalin on his wall and thinks he is a "great man", will be running the museum. According to Russian newspapers, it will have a waxwork of Stalin working at his desk in a recreation of his office at the Kremlin.
The financiers of the museum are also all Stalin fans.
Sounds like they are glorifying Stalin to me...
