Sorry, I can't romanticize over ol' Vlad. I've studied history after all.

Whether or not you're a fan of Lenin (I am not) you've got to hand it to those Russians and their graphic design tradition -- that is one great image. I especially like the priest and the capitalist sliding off the globe, weighed down, respectively, by heavy robes and bags of currency.

Any chance the Stranger will cover the new giant art object they're building just next to Lenin across the road?
