Editor’s Note:
No political prisoners were freed in 1991… there weren’t any. Reflect on that. The USSR died just as it finished cleansing itself. Reflect on that too. It puts a FAR different face on 1991, doesn’t it? If the idiotic plotters had held back, in ten years time, there would’ve been a stronger Union… with the Church marching side-by-side with the Party (remember, the Party helped the 1988 Millennium Celebrations). The “Russian Federation” is only a transistional structure. Shall we have a “Red Tsar”, as Zyuganov has spoken of? God willing, we shall!
