WNU Editor: 25 years .... wow .... how time flies. When I think of how life was in the Soviet Union .... and now .... what life is like today. Sighhh .... I am just shaking my head .... the memories are too many. That is why if given a choice .... I would rather live in the new Russia of today in a heart-beat .... warts and all .... because it is infinitely far better than what it was then. As to those Russians who long for those days .... I know only too well who these people are ....they are those who miss the days when they had privilege and power .... and cannot understand what happened to it all. And as for the young who have a romantic view of those days .... I just break up laughing when I talk to them .... they have no f____ing clue.
