6 aAnd if any of them still weren't miserable enough, they could go to Siberia,
7 bAlong with practically everybody else.
8 cStalin also established a brilliant new government bureaucracy that enabled the Russkies to rule themselves in the most perfectly Russian way ever devised.
9 For example, he set up an incredibly huge number of gigantic committees to run everything,
10 So that everything would be done even more slowly and clumsily and stupidly than even the Russkies had ever believed possible,
11 So that the whole economy produced almost nothing but nuclear bombs,
12 And prisons,
13 dAnd tremendous concrete things that didn't really quite do anything.

1 Stalin was also a great patron of the arts.
2 eFor example, he commissioned a lot of tremendous paintings and sculptures and so forth that depicted the strength and intelligence of the comrades,
3 On every wall that was more than forty feet tall,
4 fWhere they could be a big inspiration to everyone,
5 Especially the gigantic murals and statues of great Russian heroes like Stalin and...

1 Eventually, of course, Stalin died,
2 hBut didn't get stuffed and put on display,
3 Because the new czar,
4 Whose name was iKhrushchev,
5 Said that Stalin had committed some crimes against the Russian people,
6 jSomehow.
7 Then Khrushchev went to work fixing everything up again,
8 kWhich he did by building a huge number of gigantic new nuclear weapons,
9 lAnd inventing a completely new Marxist way of farming that made the comrades even more miserable than they had ever dared to hope,
