Nevsky/Stalin

[Ya Sam]

Actually these interpretations made me smile. Although, whatever floats 
their boat...

You know there is a funny nursery rhyme by a children's poet Korney 
Tschukovsky in which a terrible moustachioed cockroach terrorises other 
animals. After Stalin's death a host of interpretators were keen to point 
out that the cockroach is a thinly-veiled portrayal of Stalin. As it turned 
out, it was just a cockroach.

Saying that the warrior prince Alexander Nevsky (a well-known, even 
half-mythical figure of medieval Russia) stands for Stalin (a general 
secretary of Communist Party at the time, if I'm not mistaken) is tantamount 
to saying that Joan of Arc in some French film stands for Maximilien 
Robespierre.
