[lbo-talk] "four walls are three too many"

[Chris Doss]

FWIW I did a quick search on the Russian Internet for
"four walls" and "Stalin" (or the Russian words for
them rather) and came up with nothing. So I'm leaning
toward the theory that either he didn't say it, or
it's a very loose translation/reinterpretation of
something he actually did say.
