I agree. What we are seeing now in Russia- the total collapse of services, the proliferation of mobs, etc etc- is extremely dangerous- first and primarily to Russians, but also to us, because Russians will get desperate for anything that will save them- just like Germany after the Weimar Republic fell. Desperation breeds the most awful things- and social or political or economic anarchy breeds desperation. There are things worse than the kind of communism that was practiced in the USSR (not that the USSR was "good" or that I would want to live there). With the foolish rhetoric of the Reagan years I do not think most people realized that.
