"The past cannot be the future" :soviet nostalgia is dying

By Owen Paine on Friday February 3, 2012 10:05 AM


just read a scattered piece on "putin's russia " and its mass spontaneous
reflections on the " soviet days" of late socialism stagnation and its " heartfelt nostalgia"
for it's long denouement of "unhurried spirituality"

despite the authors muddy vision i see hope
sounds to me like the russian people might well be awakening
from their 20 year dream within a nitemare

Note also that comments with three or more links may be held for "moderation" -- a strange term to apply to the ghost in this blog's machine. Seems to be a hard-coded limitation of the blog software, unfortunately.
