| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin Right sharp ceremony. [ColonelCassad] A new monument to Stalin was officially opened in Stalingrad. Together with Stalin, busts of Vasilevsky and Zhukov were erected as the creators of the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad. As I have been writing since the noughties, the erection of monuments to Stalin in Russia is historically inevitable. It is the wind of history. Translation note: The phrase с нулевых was translated into "since the noughties." нулевых is the Russian adjective for zero, with ноль being the noun, and base word. I think the translation is an idiom, possibly in common use, a reference to the 1990s the start of the new Russian republic. Dunno. |

| #8 No. Because it's 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the battle of Stalingrad — a key turning point in World War II - being that it was Hitler's first defeat. The Battle for Moscow in December 1041 was Hitler's first defeat. |

| #3 I guess you could say he was the original denazifier. Just never you mind about all the other stuff he did or the price that Russians paid for it. But the irony is how in this country statues of our Founding Fathers are being torn down. |
