Russia seeks to join civilized society

The chief of the prostate research center of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences wants Russia to be a civilized country with a view on the future and with correct views on erotica.
Naturally, then, he opens a museum whose marquee exhibit is Rasputin's penis. "Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis is now kept. ... it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters." Yes, that's right: the whole cold war was about penis envy.
Update: others have previously claimed to possess the organ in question (or at least bits thereof), so one might need substantial provenance before taking the exhibit at face value.
