A cookie to anyone who can guess how many sentences I can usually say about this before someone asks if I'm a communist.

Instead of good/evil false paradimes howabout a realist perspective its all about power? Also, there's a good book, called The Russians, which documents everyday/normal day life of russian citizens during the soviet union. Anyways lets try to stick with the forum topic please.
