I doubt he'd care.  "Freedom of speech" and "self-determination" might upset
him, though, as would the fact that Lenin's tomb is still a tourist
attraction whereas even Stalingrad has been renamed (of course, so has
Leningrad, but at least Lenin got to keep his bit of real estate...), and
all the statues have been torn down.  He'd probably also be a tad miffed at
how "Stalinism" is used linguistically.
