#6 As to my remarks about Lenin's Tomb...
A little background to be honest here...

On one day when I was courting my Russian wife in Moscow in 1994, we went to Red Square.
She snickered at Lenin's tomb, but was still guarded about what she said. She took me into an Orthodox church on Red Square lit a candle, said a prayer, and we then had our picture taken sitting at a fountain in front of St. Basils. We did take a public tour of the Kremlin.

We then went to lunch at the TV tower, which sadly, later, (1998) had a fire.

After my wife came here, she started started a small business, and has voted 2 times for "W" since becoming a citizen...

Now...
She doesn't trust Putin, and refers to Stalin as, "That foreign cockroach", and wonders about the "fools" in the 1920s who he hoodwinked to take over...And openly wonders about the "state" of Lenin's corpse...
