So, is it fair to view this as the official US government position?

I believe that at the end of Putin's presidency, he will work to reestablish the KGB- in function, if not in name.

BTW, there's even a warm, fuzzy feeling for the Stalin years in Russia- a nation with a severe global sociopathy.

" Instead, it depicts the downfall as a chance combination of adverse historical circumstances and the "failed policy" of Gorbachev.'

The Soviet Union disappeared because Gorbachev was not Stalin. Gorbachev did not have the "heart" to use the brutal techniques necessary to maintain the existence of the unworkable concept of Marxism. We should be eternally grateful that its disappearance was not accompanied with external violence.

Those are the Russians who long for the days when everything they said was subject to being overheard and transmitted to the "proper authorities" and when they did not have to make decisions, such matters, too, were in the hands of those proper authorities. Those aren't people, they're sheep, pure and simple.

KPRF

(to the melody of 'YMCA')

From eXile.ru
Old man, there's no reason to be down
I said old man, you're still kicking around
I said old man, though your country is gone
There's no need to be unhappy

Old man, there's a place you can go
I said old man, to get out of the snow
You can go there and they'll give you a flag
While you stand around some statue

It's fun to be in the KPRF It's fun to be in the KPRF, yeah You'll have lots of good times With nice people your age And you won't even have to pay It's fun to be in the KPRF It's fun to be in the KPRF, yeah You can live in the past You can get on the news You can stick it to all the Jews
Old man, are you listening to me? I said old man, what did you used to be? I said old man, you can come back today But you've got to know this one thing Old man, there's no much left of your health I said old man, put your teeth on the shelf And just go there to the KPRF And they'll give you new hope today
It's fun to be in the KPRF It's fun to be in the KPRF, yeah You'll have lots of good times With nice people your age And you won't even have to pay It's fun to be in the KPRF It's fun to be in the KPRF yeah You can be on TV You can march in parades You can read of the good old days
Old man, I was in the same boat I said old man, and I wasted my vote On some asshole, who bought a villa in Spain I thought the whole world was to blame It's time, for you to make a stand Even if you can no longer quite stand There's a party, it's called the KPRF They can bring back the past today
