In conjunction (sorta) with that online poll about who the greatest Russian was, I will post this :D
 
Skobelev. He was just cool.
 
Valentineshkov (sp?????) - V. Tereshkova
Solyzstein (sp???) - Who is this? Solzhenitsyn may be?

Strange poll. Why it's not possible to vote for several people?
And where is Pushkin and Lomonosov? :mad:
 
Stalin. Even though he was a homicidal evil tyrant who murdered millions of people (even mostly for rapid industrialization) The people loved him anyway. You cant buy that kinda power.
 
Stalin is Georgian.
 
Mikhail Gorbachev. The guy had the guts to do what had to be done, and at relatively little blood spilled he basically collapsed the Soviet Union that he knew and he recognized to be the decrepit state it was. I'm sure he had some hopes that he would retain power in a post-Communist Russia, but he risked the chance he would not. Compared to other Russian HoS that are basically authoritarian tyrants, this was a radical change.
 
I like Mendeleev. He was a man of people, a genius, and without him modern chemistry, biochemistry, nuclear physics, etc. would not exist.
