>>>In 1994? Soviet KGB?
Peter, I'm blonde. Speak to me as if I don't understand.
Why is using the term soviet inappropriate even after 'it fell'. The Ukrainian newsletters still refer to aspects of Russia as soviet. It seems to be the same as the USA using the term democrat.
Here are Anna Politkovskaya's latest ruminations on Putin and terrorism, if you're interested. This paragraph sort of stands out:
But we did it once, we can disentangle ourselves again. Naturally, I do not want a revolution - I cannot wish this on my nation or on myself. Revolutions do not turn out very well here. But it is also impossible to agree to a political winter which would grip Russia for several decades. I still want to live some more. I would like for my children to live in freedom, and that my grandchildren would be born free.
