Nikolai, do you think this kind of activity will help prevent
your fellow Russian citizens from starving this winter? How will
they be fed -- thru Amnesty International proclamations or by means of
of war communism or some equivalent form of mass mobilisation?

But of course, you are opposed to communism: perhaps you think that
the lives of millions of Russians are a small price to pay for the
benefits of having a 'civil' society and a western path of development,
ie, de-development, colonialism and imperial plunder?
