People need to update their Russian history. The USSR Communism was a takeover much like our 8 years of Obama but obviously longer and much worse. Putin has been remarkable picking up the broken pieces of that AND keeping Obamas culture assassins from desecrating a basically Christian Country (Pussy Riot, Homosexual marches...etc..)
The anti Russian propoganda is Obamas orders as they are to be considered an enemy when in fact , an enemy of the current Press is our friend.
When I see photos of Bernie Sanders with his unruly curly hair and dark-rimmed glasses, he reminds me of those Bolsheviks. He read Marx, Lenin and Trotsky. We don't know what he and followers would do if all the impediments were removed. I read a quote by Putin that sounds like he is still Communist.
