Poor Stalin, he still can’t catch a break:
Even after Medvedev announced an end to operations, Russia continued to bomb the almost completely abandoned city of Gori, which led to the death of civilians, including a Dutch journalist. The city’s central square, dominated by a statue of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, who was born in Gori, was shredded with shrapnel from a bombing Tuesday afternoon.
Turns out, that statue is the last standing original Stalin statue. Here’s the tyrant in happier days.
