Now there're Russian Communists for 'ya.

Still worshiping someone who's been dead for 50 years.

That'll really help stimulate their economy.

If they were smart, they wouldn't be Communists.

The Globe is spinning statistics to create a falisy. The majority of Russians if you read the article do not feel Stalins effect was positive. Futher of those who do many consider that Russia would probably speak german today if not for Stalin in WWII, they still regard Stalin as an evil bastard but regard his somewhat more of his actions as having been positive than negative.

The Globe is spinning a tall tail. I'll take Secretary Rice over them any day:

Statements by Secretary Rice:

"I want to be very clear. It isn't the Soviet Union. You know this place. This Russian Government is not the Soviet Government and sometimes people overstate this to say things have gone all the way back"

http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2006/59375.htm

"This is not the Soviet Union; let's not overstate the case. I was a Soviet specialist. I can tell you that Russia bears almost no resemblance to the Soviet Union."

I've seen 'Stalin Lives' propaganda sites that say Yakov Dzhugashvili, Stalin's first child, was assisted in escaping the Nazi POW camp.

I just can't help but wonder if there is any truth to that.

Well, a lot of folks in this country are still worshipping someone who's been dead for 2000 years +/-.
