Ah, right. You're one of those people who think Russians are better off as they
are: or perhaps you think that the Russians brought their 'bad luck'on
themselves and do not deserve our sympathy let alone largesse; or you think
that the holocaust they've endured since 1991 is actually because they
STILL live under the 'Communist' nomenklatura so the catastrophe that has
befallen them has nothing to do with the West, nothing to do with USAID and the
Harvard boys with their laptops which even the Austrian foreign minister just
said should be kicked out of Russia; nothing to do with the proclivity Swiss
bankers have for hoarding plundered wealth.... Yes, it's still those damn
Commies, first they built industry, provided health, edcuation and welfare
services, good mass transit systems, affordable housing and other red
iniquities, then whimsically dismantled same for their own malevolent,
inscrutable commie reasons...

But the truth is, of course, that western imperialism alone is responsible for
the catastrophes which befell Russia this century, starting with Churchill's
inspired idea for intervening in the Russian revolution, continuing with
Hitler's butchery of the Russians, then with Truman's nuclear big stick, and
now with the IMF/Sachs 'Final Solution', at the end of which Russia and the
Russian people will have ceased to exist....
