    He was staring at you like this all day -

    I heard that a notorious female Commissar instigated the practise of putting these pictures up on street lights at crossroads, and if any were found to be missing, the whole street 's turnip ration was halved.

    Apparently, this is the origin of the line "Lenin on a lamp-post at the corner of the street, In case a certain little lady comes by . . ."

      Lenin - too much ot a wishy washy Liberal for me.

      Give me a man of Steel - yes Stalin ! сталь

      No rioting under his watch - ever heard of the Stalin (сталь) applause - when he made a speech there had to be a buzzer to interrupt because his captive audience were literally too terrified to stop applausing of his own accord.

        There were some but they were put down harshly. Majority of potential dissenters were preemptively shot or sent to GULAG.

        Mind you no riots under Hitler also.

          AtW - have you noticed that when you post about Russia your English turns into TV type "Russian baddy voice"?

            Would have made a good Mayor of London - his response to the London Looting would have been - "robust.''

                  Someone like you should have spend a decade or two in GULAG before glorifying even as a joke scum like Stalin. Sadly under his regime people like you join police to put others in jail OR write false reports on neighbors so that they go to jail.

                      I think his remark was tongue in cheek.
                      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
