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.
