Institution of Change is Incarcerated by Ghosts of the Soviet Past - Freedom in Democratic Terms Still Waiting For Release

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Sep 30, 2022 at 18:19

In a 'behind the scenes' exploration of any latent hopes of a Russia that is not overshadowed by former Soviet influences, inmate Navalny takes on a modern mantle of the type Solzhenitsyn wore in his day of rebelling against the current regime, ostensibly to rally those of the post Yeltsin era of a hopeful time of being freed from the oppression, but of being told and sold under a delusion of who the apparatchik were actually subservient to: if not the commissars, then who? Corruption had always been behind the source of power; if not, then who again, since the last one that might be asked is now unceremoniously ensconsed in former Soviet history. For timing purposes, it does not look all that promising for the situation to change unless something dramatic occurs.
