Probably not too far from where Stalin lies, since his "demausoleumization". Mike G

^^^^^ CB: Yes, right up there behind Lenin's tomb.

Did you hear the one about the long lines at Lenin's tomb during the fall of the Soviet Union. People wanted to see Lenin spinning in his grave.

By the way, just last month I ran into a young man, a stranger, in line at the bank who , for some reason , just spontaneously said to me he just got back from Russia. I don't know if I look like a Leninist or what (smiles). Anyway, he says I just got back from Russia. I immediately said "how's Lenin doing over there in his tomb". He says, "he's still there". and then "Lenin's statues are up all over Russia." I said we had heard his statues were taken down. He said, "No, only Stalin's".
