Is the legend on the Stalin poster in Ukrainian or in Byelorussian? It isn't in Russian (which lacks the letter which looks like our letter I).

It is Ukrainian. Translation: "Thank you [communist] party; thank you [our] dear Stalin for [our] happy and cheerful childhood". I doubt there was any language in the Soviet Union that did not have a similar poster.

I am amazed that so many former Soviets / Russians refuse to acknowledge the obvious similarity and continue to oppose the action against Saddam. Fooled once ..., fooled twice ...

Spasibo. FReepers are an amazing resource.

It is particularly gruesome for Ukrainians to be urged to thank Stalin.
