Re: Putin
BTW there's a lot of this rehabilitating of Soviet themes in Putin's Russia -- bringing back the Soviet anthem and the Red Flag, naming schools after and erecting statues to Andropov, putting the plaque to honor Andropov back in the Lubyanka, Luzhkov wanting to put the statie of Dzerzhinsky back up outside the FSB building, lots of stuff like that. It's part of an attempt to unite society and build a national idea.
United Russia (the pro-Kremlin party) tries to be all things to all people. They managed to get both Stalin and Solzhenitsyn on the same campaign poster as "great Russians."
