$1 for the Hands of Victory?

Bryan Caplan

Esquire features a fascinating story in pictures: The seven wonders of the totalitarian world.

This article reminds me that it's time to renew my call to privatize Lenin's mummy. I wish I could make the same suggestion for the other six "wonders." But unfortunately, the other six (like Saddam's "Hands of Victory") are even uglier than Lenin's remains and a lot harder to move to less obtrusive locations...

I guess they don't want two from Russia, but I found this famous monument much more awe inspiring than Lenin's remains. It is found at the entrance to Stalin's exhibition center.
