#2 I'd pay a dollar to go look at him. He's dead.
That's worth at least a dollar.

#3 Ah, send him on a world tour to places he'll be cheered, like Havana where he can meet up with and join Hugo for the leg to Caracas, before the stop at the White House.

#9 Actually they did keep ole Stalin on ice right next to Lenin for a few years, but he was the victim of some bad PR and ended up in the wall.

#10 Interesting bit at the end of the article:
Pollsters and analysts see nostalgia for the Soviet era diminishing as older generations die off.
"The number of respondents who regret the collapse of the Soviet Union will fall commensurately with the decrease in the number of people who lived in that country," Alexei Grazhdankin, deputy head of the Levada Centre, told the Kommersant newspaper this month, explaining a new poll that found that 49 per cent of Russians regretted the collapse of the Soviet Union -- the first time the number has fallen below 50 per cent since 1992.
Wonder what the poll results would have been if you'd administered it in American newsrooms and college faculty lounges? Methinks a lot higher than 50 percent.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
