Lets think this a bit further. I could imagine a Mengele Healthcare Centre. And a Adolf Hitler Private Academy for Political Studies.

Stalin had a whole city named after him, can't really top that.

They want their new library shot in the eye and dumped in the ocean?

The US name libraries after dead presidents so whats the difference? Both are responsible for the deaths of thousands and sat in underground bunkers whilst their orders were carried out.

True, although Lenins kill count is decidedly lower than Stalins, still pretty high though if you attribute the civil war, and the Red Terror to him, although equally you could attribute the latter to Stalin and Dzerzhinsky.
I'm always torn on Lenin, on one hand he had some good intentions, but on the other, as with most revolutionaries, once those intentions hit reality, they became not quite as good.

Here in DC we have the George Bush Center for Intelligence.

But it is named after the older Bush. But every time I pass that sign I get a chuckle.
