Any suggestions on the cheapest way to get to St. Petersburg from Helsinki? I've been thinking that the best thing is to get a train ticket through Intourist.

Amazing! Given the discontinuity between the introduction of the Euro and the disenfranchisement of that gangster name from the city of Sankt Petersburg, SA have clearly not only broken the 'sound barrier' but exceeded 'c' into the bargain Wink

and Sant Petesburg is a gansgter insult to the honourable city of Leningrad, named after the Hero of the Soviet Union and Humanity Vladimir Iliych Lenin, who freed the people of the Empire of the Rus from the tyranical,slave owner and opressor tsarist family and implemented a revolutionary and more equal socio-economical ideology, which is Socialism.

Um... St. Petersburg is the city's original name. Leningrad was the third.

Sankt Petersburg is the original name of the city. Petrograd was an intermediate one and 'Leningrad' was a purely soviet invention.

As for Vladimir Illych Ulyanov ('Lenin' was an alias, a common device among criminals), his legacy was to deliver the Russian people into the hands of a psychopathic Georgian bank robber thus resulting in the greatest orgy of mass murder in European history. 'Lenin' is and was the most destructive traitor in Russian history. Along with his protégé 'Stalin' (also an alias - see a pattern here?) he has more blood on his hands than any other person in human history. Mao Zedong comes close, but even he couldn't beat the bolshevik 'dynamic duo'.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot, Ulyanov did not assist in the overthrow of the Tsar, he was not even in the country at the time. It was the Kerensky government that the bolsheviks overthrew after waiting for the mensheviks to complete the difficult task of removing the monarch. Opportunistic, murderous gangsters to a man.

you pathetic brianwashed westerner, how you dare to insult Ulyanov? obviously Lenin was a nickname...recall Ulyanobsk? a city in honour of Lenin.

people like you always made me laugh. Were you brainwashed from the moment of your birth that you still seem to believe fairytales about Stalin? Total population was 150'000'000, including 68'000'000 men. And so, 40'000'000 of them were killed. And the surviving ones were infants that fought against Nazis four years later, I guess? Yes, your position is quite probable and reasonable.

go read some history.

I didn't insult him, I said he was a criminal, a traitor and a mass murderer. All these are easily demonstrable facts that he freely acknowledged in his own writings. It isn't an insult if it it true.

I never mentioned such figures. Stalin and Lenin combined had probably murdered about 7 million people by the time WW2 started (primarily by starving Ukrainian peasants to death) so there were plenty of people left to fight the Nazis.

Here is a good article showing that the Ukrainian Famine was not nearly as bad as people say it was (from the Village Voice):

Any proof regarding the 7 million you are talking about?

Yes, yes ...and the Auchwitz ovens existed to bake bread to feed the people who voluntarily attended that holiday camp. Holocaust revisionism is a tedious and pointless exercise, particularly when eye witnesses are still alive to testify. The figure I quoted (7 million) is an educated guess. No, I cannot prove it but then I don't have to because all I am asserting is 'mass murder' and even if it were only 500,000 (which no-one could dispute as an estimate) then the allegation would still be proven.
