I think they tried to erect something similar in every capital of the Warsaw Pact nations. There are 7 in Moscow I believe... Thank you also Bula - now you have me also wanting to visit Gori. Georgia is on my list for sure, and I'd be fascinated to hear how the locals view their famous son. Thanks Jeruen – yes there are a number of these towers around.

This was a fascinating read and definitely a place I have to check out when in Warsaw. I really have a yearning to go to Gori, Georgia, Stalin's hometown where he is lauded as a hero instead of a cold-blooded dictator. I love old Communist-style buildings.
