<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 3982381, member: 77704"]I would say Yeltsin and Gorbachev wanted to have the Russian people live in a democracy, free of the hated Communist dictatorship. Josef Stalin, was perhaps the worse human being in history, 60 million perished under his reign of terror. I think most Russians are much happier today in 2020, then they where in 1920. In 1938, most went to bed, not knowing if the dreaded NKVD would arrest them in the night, accuse them of a trumped up charge, always, "you have been found to be an enemy of the state". Next, you are sent to a gulag in Siberia, or if you where lucky, shot, which was quicker. One time, Gorbachev visited Canada, he was taken to a "super market" store. After that, he remarked to the Canadian govt. official, that he now knew that capitalism was superior too "Communism". A year later the Wall came down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
