I know a number of foreigners.Some still live in former communist countries.Some moved out to the west.A few still talk up how Stalin was a great man and saved the people of Russia.Some of these talkers make pretty good paychecks but talk up Stalin.I asked them about the beautiful old buildings in Russia and Hungary. The best ones were made before communist got control.I asked what communist did with the old churches.A couple said that they just used them for other things or made museums out of them.Marx said there was no God or that God is dead. Now Marx is. Or they say the churches made the people poor.I noticed that the churches were not much like we have in the USA and that England has a government approved church.But we are different so we can choose what church or no church and the government is not to make us believe or nor believe.Recently there have been rules made that you can not have the Ten Commandments on government buildings not teach God in school.But my guess is that they can teach one to be an atheist because it is science. But I read a site that some guy goes to Russia to make pictures of things happening there.I enjoy the site a lot.Here is one of Stalins buildings on the top of the page. >>>> http://englishrussia.com/ --- Oh,Here Stalin destroys a church.But the building was not built then years later the mayor had the church rebuilt> http://www.moscow-life.com/moscow/seven-sisters
