a playful sketch on Lenin/Russian popular culture

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear colleagues,

Since we were reminded recently about the dark sides of Soviet history  
and Gerasimov's numerous portraits of Stalin, I would like to bring to  
your attention a playful comedy sketch on Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, etc.  
called "Lenin na avtopati  revoliutsii". It was shown recently on  
Russian TV as part of the Comedy Club sketches. They include various   
sketches that present  Russian and Soviet history in a humorous vein.
  The address is:

All best,
Alexandra
