Yikes - that twists my brain a bit - trying to understand which way it is meant.

I don't have to admit anything but I did see some benefits to the "system" even though I only played with it for a little while. Your original manifesto is a mess.

You mean The Communist Manifesto? I agree it caused a mess in the Balkans. |

No I meant Manifest lipcowy, which caused some stir in your heimat, real or imaginary.
A good thing about a Balkan head is that it is often very hard. Mind you, I only know this from hearsay.

Yeah, we're sorry, Patuco. This will keep us in the realm of linguistics:
Top Ten Linguists Who Were Famous for Other Things, or Famous People Who Were Also Linguists.
No.1 Joseph Stalin: Stalin's linguistics articles brought an end to the "Marrist" school of linguistics, which had dominated soviet work until that time. Although anti-soviet writers such as Milan Kundera and Jerzy Kosinsky later mocked him for dabbling in a technical field in which he had no training, the overall effect of Stalin's linguistic work can probably be regarded as positive.

Others wrote his other scientific articles but I'm not sure about his essay in linguistics.
