***But...here's what bothers me, Viktor: I'm not sure ordinary people are that much better off these days, in what we call the "newly independent states" and Russia.No, they are not. For most of them life is more difficult and far less orderly. One can draw different conclusions from that. One is that they should go back to hard line communism - and many do indeed advocate that.
Others think that it takes decades to clear your system of the communism dung, and one needs to be patient.
***Have bandits replaced the commies?
To large degree yes. Unfortunately, the outside forces have done little to affect the change for democracy. Because of our administration's policy of avoiding making the bandits feel uncomfortable, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted with untold amounts of money - thus making life even more miserable for common citizens.
"We'll do whatever you want, Boris, just don't get upset" - that is a political prostitution of highest order.
