No need to do that: the sumbitch is already in flames.
That thing is made of solid stone slab.
This dumb ass was way under armed.

He visited Lenin’s tomb, waiting in the long line to view the body, walking with his hands in his pockets and loudly chewing gum.

Maybe he is a Tsarist.
Was going to say this! That SOB’s rotting corps is made of wax. Every once in a while they take it out to really a new coat, especially after a hot summer.
I read that book when I was teaching world history to high-schoolers. Got a lot of serious mileage out of it. Seminal work, roundly ignored and panned by the educ establishment.
1987 for me. I had my arms folded and one of the armed guards slapped my arms down to my sides. In the tomb it was eerie, for sure.
History is a worthy subject. Kudos to you.
Moscow need not fear I’m sure Biden has a bid on it to brig it to bring it to D.C. the stage is set for communism.
Thx. 30 years; I enjoyed it. Coached baseball, too. Good life.
