Doug:
The USSR after 
de-Stalinization wasn't such a bad place, as far as I can tell.

Me: I don't know anyone in Russia over 40 who doesn't miss the Soviet way of
life. I don't know anyone whatsoever, of whatever political persuasion, who
thinks breaking up the Soviet Union was good.

A propos of nothing, the granfather of a friend of mine is 95. He was born
before the Revolution! He was an officer in the Red vArmy in the Great
Patriotic War. "I killed many fascists," he says. I would love to talk to
him, but he's not all there, desperately wants to die.
