Big, I knew you were ill, but at the same time a big expert in linguistics.
You know, Stalin just like you was a great expert in all the areas of the academic thought, even in linguistics. In 1950, he contributed an essay in the Communist party's paper ?Pravda?: ?Marxism and Linguistic Questions? (http://www.marxists.org/reference/ar...950/jun/20.htm).

Short after the publication, a sarcastic anti-Stalinist (underground) song became very popular in the USSR:

?Comrade Stalin, you're a real big scholar.
You saw what was what in linguistics,
And I'm an ordinary Soviet prisoner [in a camp]
And my comrade is the gray Siberian wolf.?

The text of the song is quite interesting but I have not the time to translate it. Here you can hear the song while enjoing your own ill ignorance:

Indeed! I simply pointed out a usage of a word "klassiki" in Russia but it is common of anti-Communist elements to raise hell over everything independent of Western customs.
