  1. some people here love stalini, these people usually tend to love russia top, it’s usually old taxi drivers for me

    i wonder what the stalin and ussr and russia lovers here think about abkhazia..

    today i had a taxi driver say “i never said stalin is good, in fact he’s bad, but only because he didn’t finish cleaning out trash”, must be a nice guy to hang out with /s
