Well, most of Lenin's Politbureau members and other October Revolution masterminds were Jewish, so, now what? To blame them for all communist's attrocities? Probably not. In fact, communists didnt have nationalities, they simply divided people by classes and acted by the book written by Lenin and Marx.
If Lenin had lived longer his atrocities could have been worse than Stalin.
At least Stalin gave women and children mock trials before executing them.
I didn't say it's the propper way to keep order, I have just stated that they were trying to keep it.firing with MLRS at the city districts is a proper way to keep order?
Interesting that the Czech president Klaus unlike his East European colleagues has recently heavely critisized Georgian goverment and the European approach at the conflict as whole.
Censored? I see nothing that was censored - the reporter questioning Rice was rambling and there could be a dozen reasons why the signal was lost.some more:

How did the US and NATO meddle along Russia's borders. If Russias former satelites wish to cozy up to the west that is there god given right. They are a soverign nation and Russia has not right to interfere in that either.

Quote: "gorbachev had no support of ANY western country to his attempt of democratization and moderate change ussr to a free and capitalist society."
Now that is a very interesting interpretion on history when one remember the support gave to Gorba and the fact that according to one of Gorba's statements free elections were BS and according to other he insisted that he was still a communist.
Quote:"there was a coup supported by western powers.."
Now can you name the Western Powers that supported that failed coup by Communist Party hard liners????

gorbachev was the most responsible for the democratization of russia, former ussr republics and the eastern iro curtain countries:
1988 gorbachev announces ussr will quit the bejnev douctrin, then all the western countries could have democratic governments if they wanted. its was called sinatra douctrin.
Yeltsin dancing........
I think we miss that kind of Russia.
Gorbachev was weak in global politics, too naive, I would say. He was outplayed by more experienced and pragmatic western leaders. He took the blame on starting the Cold War (what an idiot) and because of that he didnt ask enything in exchange of the soviet troops withdrawal from Eastern Europe. He should have demanded those countries to stay neutral for another 50 or something years, instead he screwed things up completely jepardizing his country's security.
