    I would like to know what is about to come with the next generation, that was born during the 90's and hasn't experienced the Soviet regime. Will there be change? Will this change lead towards a happier and healthier population of the post soviet block?

    I'm astounded that the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution has been ignored by the UK & US media. Absolutely no reference to one of 3 major events of the 20th century

    On page 122 of Figes's "A people's tragedy The Russian Revolution." He says that no revolutionaries ever escaped from the St Peter and Paul fortress in Petersburg. In fact Peter Kropotkin escaped and went on to join the second International in Switzerland.

      Two years had passed. Several of my comrades had died, several had become insane, but nothing was heard yet of our case coming before a court.
      In March or April, 1876, we were at last told that the Third Section had completed the preliminary inquest. The "case" had been transmitted to the judicial authorities, and consequently we were removed to a prison attached to the court of justice,-the house of detention. Some ten days later I was transferred to the military hospital which is situated on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.
      Various plans were made by my friends to liberate me.

      Kropotkin did not escape from the prison itself. He escaped from the prison hospital which was located at the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

    "Reality tells us that *state capitalism* would be a step forward. If in a small space of time we could achieve state capitalism, that would be a victory."
    -- Vladimir Lenin, _Minutes of the Sessions of the All-Russia C.E.C._ (1920)
    "If we confess that the enterprises taken over by the State are *state-capitalist* enterprises, if we say this openly, how can we conduct a campaign for a greater output? In factories which are not purely socialistic, the workers will not increase the productivity of their labor."
    -- Nikolai Bukharin, at a 1926 government conference, quoted in _Bolshevism or Communism_ (1934)
    "Soviet Russia, it must now be obvious, is an absolute despotism politically and the crassest form of *state capitalism* economically."
    -- Emma Goldman, _There Is No Communism in Russia_ (1935)
    "Nothing has contributed so much to the corruption of the original idea of socialism as the belief that Russia is a socialist country... I had seen little evidence that the USSR was progressing towards anything that one could truly call Socialism."
    -- George Orwell, _Animal Farm_ (1945)
    "Association of socialism with the Soviet Union and its clients serves as a powerful ideological weapon to enforce conformity and obedience to the *state-capitalist* institutions."
    -- Noam Chomsky, _The Soviet Union Versus Socialism_, (1986)
