I am at liberty to deplore the fact it worked out that way.

The Russians/Soviets have had a difficult 100 years. I'm not sure that a country can jump from dictorship to democracy in a single step. The Soviet dictatorship by beaurocracy may have been a necessary transition.

FYI- I don't hold high hopes for Afganistan, Iraq, or even Mexico to make an instant stride into power sharing. I am more concerned if democracy can last here.
