If I remember it right, on Thursday the official government news channel "Vesti" broadcasted an event where people and politicians gathered at a memorial to the victims of Stalinist repressions. It did not get much "air time", however, it reminded people the dark memories about Stalin.
That's good. There's hope. Your blog is interesting, as always.
