person.
Russian leader famous for his diminutive stature, broad puckish sense of humour, and his misguided desire to restore the glories of yesterday to his country. The practical jokes he has played on Europe, often involving complex troop movements, false accusations of Nazification, and massive
death counts, are considered by some to be legendary, although, admittedly, you really had to be there, trembling under his maniacal gaze in the Kremlin
war office, to truly appreciate his
wit.
