Then things got better slowly until Gorby came to power. Then the USSR disintegrated, and Russia entered a transition Golden Age of freedom and democracy. Tragically, though, the "Evil Empire" seeds apparently had only lain dormant, and now are again starting to germinate. As we saw here, and now (in October, 2012) are seeing in Ukraine! What a shame for all those hundreds of millions of fine people in those nations. Perhaps it just wasn't meant to be...

I guess patience that freedom will spread even to the harshest of nations is what we can look forward to. It will come to pass.
