“I’m shocked that we have so many Russian apologists on Free Republic! Putin is acting like the former KGB boss that he was and folks here are making excuses for him”
It’s both Russian apologists and nationalists. The cloak of communism was removed but the imperial ambitions have not.
And a lot of blood, tyranny and bodies under that bridge. With apologies from neither I might add.
It’s a tried and tired KGB/FSB tactic. In all Internet forums in the former Soviet satelites from Eastern Europe there are seminar posters that defend the commies and push the pro-Mother Russia propaganda. a lot of them are paid by the posting. Notice, how Natchez Hawk did not answer my question? See post 187, 188.
