Meet Virginia's Newest Neighbor - Stalin At D-Day Memorial



The small town of Bedford, VA has put a bust of Stalin with it's D-Day Memorial.  21 men from that small town lost their lives in Normandy, so the town square has erected a memorial to the sacrifice of these brave men who fought for freedom against the Nazi's. 

While it is true that Stalin and The Soviet Union fought on the same side during WWII, they were not at D-Day.  So why the director of the memorial felt that this was a necessary addition to the memorial is beyond comprehension.

Stalin Making a Comeback? Moscow's May Day Celebrations


On May 9, the Russians will be celebrating the 65th anniversary of the end of the war against Hitler.  To mark the day, someone has decided it would be a good thing to plaster the city of Moscow with giant posters of none other than Stalin. 



Let's see, he killed millions of his own people through outright murder and famine, he created the Gulags; which are responsible for about 1.7 million deaths, and was responsible for forced deportation and resettlements.  What's not to celebrate?
