That means rightwing message board dunces basically know nothing of substance about the Soviet Union. One really can't learn about the Soviet Union by listening to Limbaugh and watching Fox. The way to learn about the Soviet Union is to read the great Russian authors of the Soviet era, to read the dissidents, and to actually talk to people who lived it.
    Okay, Brian.

    By message board standards, my responses to you have been generally measured and topical. Especially considering the way you have talked about me for a decade.

    You are literally outraged and irate that I participated in your thread and demostrated I know more about this topic than you.

    By message board standards, it is reasonable for me to point out how weak your sources are: obscure British bloggers rather than primary sources, actual Russians, dissidents and soviet era writers.

    I generally keep my mouth shut about topics I am ignorant of. You should consider doing the same.

    ^^^ Obviously a blatant lie.

    You make it a point to follow me around, lurk me, and read almost everything I write.

    Literally for years on end.

    Clearly you find my writing extremely interesting.


    Since you cannot respond substantively to what I am saying about Solzhenitsyn and have been reduced to personal attacks, death fantasies, and frothing at the mouth angry retorts I am going to assume you are out of ammunition concerning the topic of the thread

    I'm much more concerned with Fascism, since that actually has made a comeback in the West.
    Exactly.............
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
