I will - you should too - continue to base my understanding of modern Russia as well as the US and the west -on the writings of Solzhenitsyn.

Yeah, "modern Russia". The one that is building up and supporting Iran, Venezuela/Chavez, Cuba, the ChiComs and other anti-US, dictatorial regimes. The one that poisons its political foes (reporters, politicians, 'whistle blowers'). The one that backed Saddam Husein even after the Iraqi War was underway. The one that attacked Georgia and is threatening Poland and the Ukraine. Does your "Solzhenitsyn" express any concern at all about these things? None of you Putin supporters here seem to.

This country's elites supports tyrannical feudal genocidal regimes too.

Saudi Arabia
Turkey

Both Muslims and both tyrannical and genocidal.

So don't give me that holier than thou BS.

AS I have said before: there are more commies in this country ad its elite institutions than in Russia

Russia is a more Christian country than this country has become

Sadly...

As for the chicoms...without the US mania for cheap goods there would be on powerful Chicoms.

Deal with it.
