World History

Things move fast in the Internet Age.

I’m old enough to remember 60s-era Russia from an American POV, Life there was an utter mystery, and when they flexed their muscles, ie Prague ‘68, all you saw was the same endless loop of tanks rolling into town.

Now you see Russian domestic anti war protesters in real-time and clips of little old ladies giving their soldiers shit. The whole Vlad edifice is visibly creaking and it’s there for all to see. Some things have definitely changed for the better.
