Sad thing is that there are plenty of people in this country that love Stalin or a Stalin wannabe.

If they just had a sculpture on a Red Army soldier, I could live with that. Heck, do one of Marshall Zhukov, for all I care.

Nah, I still think most of the left here are die-hard Trotsky-ites.

RED spray paint might be the answer.

How does a bust of anyone cost $50,000? This one is 50 bucks.

Imagine this, Stalin is okay at D-Day Memorial, but a Veterans’ cross in Mojave, CA is not....
Wouldn’t it be a shame if Stalin disappeared.... or were taken down ala Saddam Hussein’s statue in Baghdad...just a shame. Do I hear a Hemi?

Maybe they could substitute it with this statue of Lenin.

It'd be reasonable to honor the contribution of the Red Army. They killed a lot of Germans on the eastern front, and tied up a lot of German divisions. So include in the display something about the other fronts and the number of enemy soldiers who were there instead of fighting in Normandy -- the eastern front, Italy, the Resistance in Europe. (The French Resistance deserves separate mention for its work directly supporting D-Day.)
As for the bust of Stalin... comes the Revolution, I'll be happy to help tear it down as soon as we're done with the busts and portraits of Obama. Remember that ad from the time the Soviet Union fell -- roughly, a statue of Lenin being torn down by a rope around its neck, and the caption "Cold War. Second Place."

I'd even accept a sculpture of Nikita Khrushchev in his Red Army uniform better than one of that butcher Stalin who set Hitler loose on the rest of the world with his 1939 non-aggression pact.

You’re right, and alot of them belong to International ANSWER whose founder is a Stalinist.

Khrushchev was an opportunist. He adored Stalin when he was still in power, but read the writing on the wall in ‘56.

Marshall Zhukov is a kind of special guy. Seperate the politics and history from the man and you have Hideyoshi Nakamura or Bedford Forrest.

A statue of a Russian soldier with a back pack radio would have sufficed. This is the Normandy Invasion on the Western Front. We did have Russian soldiers with us there, but no large Soviet units. If anything we relieved the pressure on the Eastern Front. Georgi Zhukov probably would have been a better choice over Stalin, but then again, he had nothing to do with Normandy. Will the Russians put a bust of Eisenhower in their Berlin Victory day? I doubt it.

Nikita had a ton of blood on his hands but compared to Stalin, Khrushchev was Barney the Dinosaur. Unlike Uncle Joe, Nikita was a somewhat normal human being.
