A growing number of Russian towns in recent years have considered erecting monuments to Stalin, a controversial issue for many Russians who say the dictator was responsible for the deaths of millions of his own people.

Let's see, I wonder if this is another one of your lies to discredit Russia. The Guardian, WorldNetDaily, yourself and other Poles helped promote the lie about the statue of Stalin in Volgograd. I contacted the director of monuments for the city, and he didn't know anything about it, and furthermore stated neither he or the city would not approve it. I contacted WorldNetDaily, and they continued with the lie. That said, if the new story is true there are now 3 statues of Stalin in all of Russia, with one in Siberia, and a third in Moscow minus the nose.

In Moscow's Red Square, several dozen people carrying red flags bearing the face of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin braved wintry weather to visit Stalin's grave.

Several dozen people..

If this is anyone's lie, it's AP's, right? [WND is no source of accurate information, IMO.]

Please submit your complaint to the editor in chief of the Guardian instead of insulting other people (like me) by saying, that they lie.

A true Christian wouldn't do it. It's against the 8th commandement.

Of course what's funny is this same crowd loves Georgia that still honors Stalin with numerous statues and a museum. Which by the way, having been there when passing through Gori on the way to the ancient mountain side ruins (I can't remember the name of the city but its something like 4,000 years old and was litterly carved into a mountain) is one of the biggest fluff jobs to a murderous thug anyone can ever imagine. But yet the Saakashvili government has no problem with all that or the ceremonies performed for the patron saint of Gori by his demented worshipers.
