On March 20, Russian PresidentVladimir Putin denounced the U.S.-led "aggression" against Iraq as "unwarranted" and "unjustifiable." Three days later, Pravda said that an anonymous Russian "military expert" was predicting that the United States would fabricate finding Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov immediately started plying the idea abroad, and it has taken hold around the world ever since. As a former Romanian spy chief who used to take orders from the Soviet KGB, it is perfectly obvious to me that Russia is behind the evanescence of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. After all, Russia helped Saddam get his hands on them in the first place. The Soviet Union and all its bloc states always had a standard operating procedure for deep sixing weapons of mass destruction

THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE OF A RETURN OF THE SOVIET STRUCTURES"

Yes of course, all those churches being restored, the addition of both Christianity studies and prayer to public schools, and Putin himself wearing a cross, attending church and claiming to be a Christian.

Not to mention his favorite fan club, Walking Together, which regularly wears his face on their shirts and demonstrates making fun of communism. Several hundred thousand strong and growing.

Ample evidence indeed.

Just look at all these Christians being persecuted.

RE: Just look at all these Christians being persecuted.

In fact, persecution of many sects of Christianity continues to be an ongoing issue in Russia - or is it now USSR2, with all the recent talk of "restoration." Blame me, I have clearly succeeded, single handedly, in hating the USSR back into existence.
