    Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz


    Recommended Posts

    Here is the question:

    I was part of Lenin?s first government. He didn?t hold it against me that I was a Menshevik before I became a Bolshevik in 1914. Later I made a career as a diplomat. I went to Mexico and the Scandinavian countries.

    The state awarded me the order of Lenin and Red Banner of labour (twice).

    Who am I?

    Not too hard nut to crack I hope...

    /Kim

    You're kidding, right? Not even a guess so far suggests that we just might need another clue or two.

    I thought maybe this is a detail from a Civil War monument. I went to a couple of books that show quite a few monuments but I definitely couldn't find this one.

    Where's Ed when you really need him? He probably just visited it.
