At the end of World War II Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met at the
famous Yalta Conference. During a break the three chiefs of state were
relaxing. Wanting to show off a bit Roosevelt took out a silver
cigarette case on which was engraved: "To FDR from a loyal Democratic
Party."
Not to be outdone Churchill took out a gold cigar case on which
was engraved: "To Winston from the loyal Tories."
Stalin then smiled broadly and reaching into his vest withdrew an enormous
cigar case encrusted with rubies and emeralds on which was written: "To
Count Esterhazy from the Vienna Jockey Club."

mom brought this back from Moscow for me, i was hoping for one without the hat, and he looks a lil Alexander the 2nd for my tastes, but it's a good reminder that Pobody's Nerfect :~P:



"It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper."

i just checked out that interview and he spends a disturbing amount of time talking about how democratic elections with a secret ballot will act as "a whip in the hands of the population against the organs of government which work badly." lol

In addition to the Volgograd legislature's move to restore the old name of the city, authorities in Volgograd, St. Petersburg and the Siberian city of Chita ordered images of Stalin to be put on city buses on Feb. 2 to commemorate the historic battle.

Can you imagine if shock therapy does so much traumatic damage to Russia that they just gradually return to communism, slowly and begrudgingly? Not with a roar, but a whimper?
