Repost: Heya ad about communism in Poland

Well, it was because of your "anyway" at the end, I guess. As if you went along with the others: "Oh, why you silly Poles have a problem with that ad? I don't! And that's what matters! (And the dude looked more like Molotov than Lenin anyway.....)."

That was my impression, of course :)
And my comment wasn't just directed at you. More at the others.


Erm, isthatu2, just because I commented that I don't know how Molotov looked like you presume I have never heard of him??? :)))
Gee, I wonder whom Molotov cocktail was named after? ;)
Btw, I'm not sure how one could confuse those two even in a cartoon version - Molotov had more hair, no beard and he was wearing glasses.

Well, now you explain yourself,fair enough,but it should be,"what" rather than *how* . " I dont even know what Molotov looked like " :)

You could have said "how molotov looked" If it had been clear you knew basically what he *normally * looked like, ie, "how" could be used thus; " How did Molotov look? He looked tired."

There you go, lesson from a native speaker,no charge ;)
ps, but yes, I can see why it upsets some people in Poland whichever old Communist is depicted in adverts as I know a few old time Solidarity members.


He had a beard....he just shaved off the bit on his chin all the time ;)

Doubtless.

Worth remembering though that Comrade Lenin is still preserved in his mausoleum in Red Square and loved by many however the German mentioned in the thread is rightly reviled by all except nutters.

Ooooh! OK :D Thank you! :)


That's very kind of you ;)


What I meant was that he had only mustache :P


?


I wouldn't be so sure about those "many" and there were already plans to remove Lenin from Red Square not so long ago:

Fewer and fewer Russians believe that the mummy of Vladimir Lenin should be in a mausoleum in the Red Square in the Kremlin. According to a survey of the All Center for Public Opinion Research wishes that only 15 percent . Russians. Three years ago I opted for the 22 percent . respondents. Exactly two-thirds of the opinion that Lenin's body as quickly as possible removed from the mausoleum and bury.

Led by Vladimir Putin's party United Russia urges countrymen to have agreed to the elevation of the mummy of Lenin's Mausoleum on Red Square and bury him in the cemetery. The Internet carries even a plebiscite on the issue. The need to prevent the body of the Bolshevik leader says Moscow city center for many years.


Yeah, that's because Nazi Germany lost the war and there was:

Have you seen "Fatherland" with Rutger Hauer? If the Soviet Union lost the war and there was something like denazification there wouldn't be Lenin's mummy in Red Square.

But what does it have to do with Polish TV commercial?

They voted against that. And there are still Leninist regimes, whereas the philosophy other person we were talking about is unlikely to make a comeback.

Who?


So?
