Look forward to your comments.
I do know that Putin is an admirer of Stalin(to some degree but its been a few years since reading about this so I don't remember much about the particulars) as well and that he and Lukashenko seem to get along quite well, but Putin doesn't comment to much about it. For him he plays the 'public statesman' very well. I also don't think you will find much of anything about Putin position about returning the statue in the public forum. At this point it is still a proposal, but given enough time I do believe we will see the statue returned.
Sword and Shield of the Party Bump.
"I do know that Putin is an admirer of Stalin"
I meant an admirer of Dzerzhinsky, not Stalin.
