The Commies are coming? Or at least sending.
Amazing. I thought that given the way Putin had behaved that the iron curtain had never really come down. What with his roll back of various freedoms. Putin who has said he is opposed to splitting up certain of the government monopolies, controls the media, and whose government had its fingers in the cookie jar surrounding the death of a journalist has a less than stellar record as a champion of freedom. Not to mention the restriction of election freedoms, and suppression of opposition. And given how many of the current leadership of Russia are 'former' communist party members its surprising to see articles like this one. Which points is full of a litany of things the communists could do to regain some influence. With a leader like Putin, I didn't think they'd lost any.
