57. So I you saying that Russia would be better off as it was prior
Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 04:35 PM by FrenchieCat
to the end of the Cold war?.......

What happened to date with the Russian Economy and Democracy after the fact....is part of Russia's own responsibility...wouldn't you say?

There are also a lot of other states that were part of the Soviet Bloc, if you recall. Are you saying that all of them are no better off regardless of the struggle?

I've seen many of these citizens in France, as an example.....being tourists, etc....

I realize that it didn't all turn out perfectly....and that the "capitalism" probably went further than should have been required. But democratic elections (maybe Russia is experiencing some difficulties in that area at the moment....with PUtin and all) have occurred.....and has got to be better than the totalitarian regimes that they replaced.
