Комната столба

Say what you like about the former Soviet Union. Whatever you think of Stalin's "socialist island", the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany, their invasion of eastern Poland and occupation of the Baltic countries; regardless of how you feel about the annexations in the Estonian and Latvian Republics, the attempted invasion of Finland or the 1940 Ultimatum in Bukovina and the Hertz region of Romania; the later, so called, puppet regimes in Eastern and Central Europe, the Red Army looting of Hungary, the Berlin blockade, Tito-Stalin Split and what-not and so-forth; you can't devy, they didn't half make some lovely stamps.

Very nice. I've got some old skool Soviet sporting medals somewhere - they're pretty nifty too. . .

Would love to see those Johnny.

I'm Russian and "Комната столба" is absurd. Das ist Unsinn.

Thanks Hans, that doesn't surprise me. I just hope it's not an insult!
