If anyone thought that Russian thug and war criminal Vladimir Putin didn't have strong Soviet leanings, think again. After all, in 2005 he mourned the collapse of the Soviet Union by saying it was the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century." Imagine thinking that.
This statue of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin is a testament to Putin's admiration and even emulation of the brutal Stalin. It was unveiled earlier this month in Moscow's main subway station, and replicates one that was removed in 1966 during the de-Stalinization process. The bad old times are back.
