Yeah, you’re right. For the first time there’s a generation of Russians who weren’t raised under a Communist system and people still young enough, relatively speaking, who do remember those days of oppression and privation and I could hardly image they’d want to see that again. And now that they have certain freedoms, can own a real car, an apartment, 500 channel cable tv access, many of them have become millionaires, why in the world would they want to go getting killed for Putin?
You know what, I like the Russian people. I wish their government was better. Hell, I wish ours was better.
BTW: I like your comments. I agree.

Ask McCain who are submitting articles to Pravda agitating Russian leftover commies to take on government.
A presence of generation who weren’t raised under communist system has its downsides too.
There are people, typical to western lefties who value socialism for achievements like space program and free health care and opting to ignore shortages and Gulags because they haven’t really experienced it first hand.
