an announcement for STALINKA, a digital library of Staliniana

[Margarita Orlova]

The overall gallery is very good and useful. Thank you very much for  
your great work!

I would like to provide an addition to the description of the poster.  
It depicts a moment when Stalin is casting his vote in an election; he  
is putting his marked ballots into a recognizable big red ballot box.  
He votes as it is announced with the name of the poster "For People's  
Happiness!" (Za narodnoe schast'e!).
Of course, instead of voting for People's happiness, he usually voted  
for himself.
