Why is that surprising?  Soviet-style communism even with all its faults
was the best thing that happened in that part of the world since the
introduction of toilet paper - an incomaparbly better alternative to
petty-bourgeois nationalism that thrived there between the two world wars,
or mafia capitalism sponsored by Mad Albraight and her EU henchmen.
