I feel bad for alot of Ruskies because there was some poll done recently and huge number of people thought Stalin would be a great leader even today, and that they would elect him. The Soviet state of mind is realy an amazing bit of psychology/scoiology, talk about pulling the wool over the sheeps eyes. Stalin was horrible and yet even here people defend him, tell that to all your dead comrades and familys that no longer exist because of him, he must have killed most of the intelligent people off. I guess if you kill everyone who dislikes you, no one will ever know you were disliked. In all seriousness its quite sad interms of what it has done to the soviet psychology.

hey Joysof maybe we can have a soviet consensus on this since you always have such informative and thoughtful things to say.

Russian rational=out of sight, out of mind!
