Truth is only an aspect of power, it doesn't matter in itself. Seems that Kremlin really is a museum of the 1930's, Goebbels would recognize these tactics - Stalin on the other hand didn't need to stoop so low, his power was absolute enough not to worry about even basic plausibility. So, such primitives we have in modern Europe: trading in the old hatreds and aggressions. I suppose we can only patiently wait that a real civil society would develope in Russia. Anyways, count me out, I surely will not hold my nose and engage in debate with this vile bunch of utter lies.stockholm slenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909107517362691387noreply@blogger.com
