Uncle Joe in Third Place
Alexander Nevsky, the prince of Novgorod and Kiev and grand prince of Vladimir, received the most votes in the "Face of Russia," a controversial seven-month contest on state-run Rossia television. Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin finished third, with 519,671 votes, while poet Alexander Pushkin finished fourth. A total of more than 50 million votes were cast. In August, with Stalin just ahead of Nicholas II, the last Russian tsar, the tally was thrown out and the voting was restarted.
