The Best of Pravda
There is nothing like the certainty of being Russian
They do love thier superlatives. In the "I Had No Idea" category, consider this headline
We have a "global dictatorship?" If only I'd known, all that money I spent in Russia this summer when I could just have demanded the goods by fiat. And China -- we can just order them to stop buying so much oil and escalating the prices. Oh, it's good to be the dictator.
And finally there is this reporting of some deviantly ingenious behavior
I think this proves that the Russians are not quite over communism. That givernment was so overbearing that they had to have a certain disregard for authority just to survive. They are going to have to learn better if they want to play int he world with the rest of us.
