I used to be annoyed that the Russians still prominently displayed the hammer and sickle at their parades for WWII.
But now, I understand, it is their history, just as the Civil War was ours’. And they intend to preserve their history and celebrate their heroes.
A nation that doesn’t celebrate their heroes, will be ruled by one that does.
Many Freepers don’t understand that a victory parade with hammer and sickles being flown doesn’t mean that the Communists are back. It simply means that the Russia people helped save the world from Hitler under that flag, and they respect their history.
