Well it looks like the Communists are taking Russia back. Suprise, Suprise... I don't think they ever left.
There is a Poll that is being conducted by a T.V. station in Russia on who is the Greatest Russian in History. It looks like Stalin, one of the most Blood Thirsty and tyranical men in Modern History is in the Running. Heck according to the article in the BBC he is being pushed to win from the Highest levels of the Russian Government.
Here is the Article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7798497.stmp>
The Article goes on to say that the Russian Government has also issued New School Manuels to History teachers that say that Stalin was not a Blood thirsty Nut Job that massacered Hundreds of Thousands of People, instead it says he was entirely Rational.
Also this was followed by a Raid on the Offices of one of the biggest and best known Human Rights Organizations in Russia, Memorial. The Riot Police took 12 hard drives that contained all of the atrocities of Stalin that took 20 years to accumilate. They claim that the organization was linked to an extremist group. Memorial specialized in collecting atrocities that were comitted under the Soviet regime.
They say that there is a new form of nationalism called "Putinism". The Russian Government is trying to justify the past horrors of the former U.S.S.R. so that the same tactics can again be employed while calling it Patriotic and justifiying the Hard Line treatment of the new Russian Government.
It looks like the KGB is alive an well.
I would say in the next 4 years we are going to see the reemergence of the U.S.S.R. but with a new name. They will cloak it in neccesity and Nationalism all the while suppressing those that disagree......
Gee......Guess we are going to need that little Missle Defense System......
New Cold War..here we come!

"But war, in a good cause, is not the greatest evil which a nation can suffer. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice – a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice – is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other." - John Stuart Mill
