Soviet vid "reenacts" Stalin's visit to Berlin
Matt sez, "Here's a surreal clip from an old Soviet propaganda film 'reenacting' Stalin's arrival in Berlin to his loving masses. The whole thing is in Russian, but you don't have to understand the language to know what's going on here. 'LONG LIVE STALIN!!!'" Link (Thanks, Matt!)
Update: ArtilleryMagazine writes, "The ironic thing is, Stalin never visited Berlin. He said upon screening of the film, that it was so beautiful, and he wished he had gone."
