Actually it is. Putin overhauled the history textbooks and the changes included casting Stalin in a more positive light. [/quote]

You're so cute, you remind me of a rhyming contest Russia ran in jest a few years ago.  The poem had to have two lines, and the second had to be "Yes, it must be Putin's fault." I remember the entries that went like" Did you your girlfriend cheat on you? yes, it must be Putin's fault. Did your skating practice suck? Yes, it must be Putin's fault."  It's much funnier in Russian.

The real answer, my little darling, has nothing to do with any alleged education reform (certainly, not enough people would have graduated school with the new textbooks - if they existed - to make any difference!)   The real answer is that for a substantial number of Russians, life under Stalin and his successors was substantially better than it is today.  And all the Hedricks of the world won't be able to do a damn about that.

The majority of Russians who lived under Stalin are dead. [/quote]
