I believe I was sort of typical in that. Of course, I did not cry but there was a definite feeling of a loss. I did not really like Brezhnev, laughted to jokes about him, but I believed he was sort of guarantor of peace, stability and confidence in the future. Yes, there was a week or so of nationwide mourning but I would not call it a blowjob. TV and radio broadcast mostly classical music and movie theaters showed historical movies. Entertainment programs were canceled. But there was no outright praise of Brezhnev in the media and of course people were not obliged to wear black clothes on the streets :-))</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have a nice weekend!  </FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A href="mailto:lookoverhere1@yahoo.com" title=lookoverhere1@yahoo.com>Chris Doss</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, June 11, 2004 5:24 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Hi sasha</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Hi Sasha!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(This is my new email address.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A friend of mine in the States has a question about how what it was like when Leonid Ilich died (question below).
