Kind of needs some changes, with Krushchev's name there are different ways of spelling used, i tried a bunch of 'm, except the correct one appearently.

Be consistent in how to enter numbers, the question about the decade accepted numbers, but the question about the number of states (1989 question) needs it to be written.

Maybe, in the case of the names of politicians or such, accept just Lenin or Stalin, not necessarily including their first name. There are bound to be people who know the character, but not the first name.
