Find out that-
(1) Stalin wrote musicals
(2) Stalin goofed with Hitler
(3) Stalin liked John Wayne/John Ford westerns
(4) Stalin played hide the Kabanosi with the maid.( and thanks for the tip, so to speak).
(5) Why being a member of the Communist Party was dangerous- or why death quotas are not a good idea.

Oh what those Russian archives reveal!

not according to the archives. Apparently Stalin thought of himself as something of the lone cowboy who sacrifices and makes the brave fight for the good of all.

What a nut.

And his favorite book was Last of the Mohicans.

Read Stalin:Court of the Red Tsar. If that's what I think it is, it's from the guy who wrote it. I heard him on NPR a while ago.....great book. He was actually a pretty smart, whitty guy that just also happened to be a psychopath and a thug. Really, really weird, especially the fact that he was something of a Kasanova.
 
Let me know if you come across any books about Tito. After all, that man was called "the first socialist emperor" for a reason. An interesting persona he is. Boned Sophia Loren he has.

This reminds me of Saddam. Mainly because of the western bit.
Why do non-Western dictators have a fasciniation with western culture? (Saddam, Stalin, Kim Jong Il)

Meh, nothing really interesting, though. He's a nutcase. Duh. He killed millions.
 
Kabanosi sounds more like Caucas-region food. In any case, that's not how they're called in russian.

And "borscht" is ukrainian soup, not russian either.
 
A "kabanos" is a dried, smoked, long sausage. It's well known here in Poland. Regarded as traditional Polish food, too.

There goes the "Caucasian" theory.
I think it's more of an Eastern Slavic treat, although I never saw it in stores while visiting Ukraine.


Anyways, what's up with "hiding the borscht" (called "barszcz" in Polish, by the way)
 
Thanks for the tip. I have been misinformed and will make the correct edition.

Kabanosi sounds better.
