WNU,
I didn't realize that about Putin's grandfather.
James .... this is actually old news. For Putin's grandfather to be this close to Stalin .... he had to be NKVD. My father always believed that this was the reason why Putin was fast-tracked in the KGB .... it was because of these old "family connections". Sighh .... I have to find time to write that book that would get me banned from Russia.
NKVD, I can believe that and the fast track, but being that close to that guy would be an awfully iffy proposition to say the least.
