>From the site:

"People that express happiness over the end of the Soviet Union are unaware 
of the achievements of the Soviet Union and that these achievements will not 
continue in the bankruptcy and chaos of the new Russia or the post-Cold War 
world."

Not to start a flame war or anything... but one should not forget the cost 
of these achievements, and ask oneself: "were they worth it?"

Happy Thanksgiving!
