...insistently that he ought to be allowed to keep his $1,440,000 worth of stock in the textile firm of J. P. Stevens & Co., Inc., which makes millions of dollars' worth of uniform cloth for the armed forces. "...

When his second wife tried to rip it down, Stalin said: "I'm a Georgian, so I must show great respect for all the relics of Russian history." One Bolshevik relic, the embalmed body of Lenin, is now a fake, says Budu.
