Whats ironic is that had he actually been a good wartime leader this would actually have some (forgive me ) merit to it. But he was a terrible leader. He made mistake after mistake after mistake. Took all the credit for fantastic victories of his generals. And his stupid decisions and ignorances were responsible for millions of needless deaths. I pity the uneducated folk.

Default Maybe...

...its a sense of Nationalistic Pride.

Don't forget the Russians would love to be the other superpower in the world and they may be looking to past leaders to restore national pride.

Then again, I could be wrong..

Default Overdose on Vodka !!

There is one solution for Russians who miss their Empire...... drink more vodka, drink a lot more vodka, overdose on it, and go away into an alcohol induced stupor.......
