Communist Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu Now: Russia communists slam authorities, call for U.S.S.R. revival

Déjà Vu Then: M.S Gorbachev is speaking at the XXVII Congress of the CPSU.

Way before Then: L.I. Brezhnev is speaking at the XXVI Congress of the CPSU.

If only the giant Lenin’s head could talk!

Now: Members of modern Young Pioneers, the successor of the similar Communist league for pre-teens in the Soviet Union, salute to the monument of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin at his grave as their elder comrades laid a wreath at the Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin’s mausoleum on Moscow’s Red Square, Sunday, Nov. 30, 2008

Then: Young Pioneers are greeting (still alive) Comrade Stalin with flowers.
