Communism ended twenty years ago. Blaming it for any aspect of today's Russia would like blaming the Tsar in 1937, which Communists actually did, BTW :-)

- ovi256 17y agoConsequences of past events or situations are felt for a long time through the mechanism of culture - which acts as a sort of collective societal memory. People who have not lived the traumatic situations assimilate their teachings through culture. Blaming Tsar's influence and Communism is perfectly reasonable, just as blaming HDR or McCarthy's heritage in the US.
