People forget the monstrous evil that was Soviet Communism. The fact that humanity endured hanging under a nuclear sword of Damocles for 40 years until this evil was peacefully vanquished remains the signal achievement of the 20th century. All who took part in that victory made contributions most of the world will never appreciate.
