Laughing Moon

Stalin and the other Soviet leaders were very popular. Whenever any leader popped round they would always bring a present. An enthralling exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary History displays some of the bizarre and grovelling gifts that countries and leaders bestowed on the most powerful men in the world. Displays include a telephone in the shape of a globe with a hammer-and-sickle receiver sent by Polish workers and a pipe with a mini Stalin drawn on it.
