WHO wants to glorify those murderers? I am full of admiration for Russia as it was BEFORE the monster Bolshevicks and the Jews who ruled Russia for seventy years, and for Russia now, with great leaders, real actual Russians. Did you know that the word Czar (which they are trying to steal and to denigrate all the time by "appointing Czars" (especially this sinister, peculiar crazy, Barry Soetero) comes from the word Caesar - it is the Russian version of the title Caesar and the title came to Russia when the niece of Byzantium Emperor married Ivan 3rd. And of course, the real Christianity is Russian Christianity, stemming from that connection and from the real teachings of Jesus Christ! The future is with Russia - so wake up Russian People and look at the last seventy years with open eyes. Get rid of the illusion about those seventy years and be free of those who imposed that Horror on your country.
