Toured Minsk today. Not much to see if your an American Capitalist pig like myself. For those of you who don't know - and most in the U.S. probably don't - Minsk was where the Communist party was formed.

The party was in the living room while the manifesto was written the adjoining bedroom. As a token of our visit, Andre purchased some communist party pins. There are historic trinkets, some date back to 1948, most have Linen's image on them - who also ironically wasn't a founding member of the party
