And I voted for Stalin. Of course, not because I’m a Stalinist. Quite the opposite, in fact. It’s just that this whole contest turned into such a grotesque rigged farce from the very beginning that there could be only one motive for voting: *let’s see how they wriggle out of this. *And wriggle they did. They nullified results, padded the totals, and so on. I’m sure 70% of those who voted for Stalin did so for reasons similar to mine. If Hitler had been on the list, everyone would have voted for Hitler—just to rub that idiotic TV project’s nose in it. But really, I’m for Gagarin!
