BERLIN - Move over Mickey, a new theme park will make it´s debut in September in Europe. Former champion wrestler, Viliumas Malinauskas, is opening Stalin´s World as a dedi-cation to the prison camps of the former Soviet Union where an estimated 30 million opponents of Josef Stalin were work-ed, starved and often tortured to death. Some 28 members of parliament have signed a petition trying to stop the opening of Stalin´s World, saying it´s in the worst possible taste and more than a little offensive. Malinauskas responded by saying that no wholly liberals will crush his dream of opening the world´s first gulag theme park. Malinauskas reckons visitors will thrill to guard towers manned by actors, gasp at log roads like those that Stalin´s slaves constructed, and swoon at the huts where workers slept between backbreaking shifts.
