That is a fantastic thread. I thnk my favourites are

"cameldung- why dont you bugger off to you own message board instead of making uneducated comments to an educated historically qualified professional. I doubt Stalin is a field of speciality to you, where as Stalin, Hitler and World War II is mine. Therefore fatuous comments like the above just make you look idiotic"

followed by

"Whatever you suggest. Published author in both Russia and Czechoslovakia on "The Lost Artists: a study of the Stalin Regime."

Here is one for you to ponder upon, although God knows how it appears on a football message board.

"Georgy Nelepp: Stalin's Artistic Spy. Now, did he just die young or was he murdered?"

Over to you."

Who'd have thought?

(Also - who's Bob Franklin?)
