Ashot Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Communism back in fashion After the collapse of the Soviet Union some people called for the removal of the red stars from the Kremlin towers, saying they were the reminders of the Soviet past that, back then, many wanted to forget. But as the years go by, Russians are becoming more tolerant to their history. About two decades after Soviet Russia’s demise, there are still those who believe ending communism was a mistake.

Armen Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 If by "Communism" you mean one party dominated system, well Japan also has a system where one party (LDP) dominates. That doesn't realy matter. If you mean socialist economy, well maybe there still are some babushkas who have nostalgia for Communism in terms of high pensions, cheap food and free tickets for public transport and other public services but Russia nowadays is anything but Communist. Believe me the U.S. (or Sweden) is much more a communist state than today's Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyethga Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) There's a bar or club thing just across Abovyan street in Yerevan called "CCCP" (next to the Porsche dealership iirc); I thought it was some good old, nostalgic USSR bar but I was severely disappointed when I visited it Soviet symbols in Yerevan remain - the train station at Sassuntsi Davit still has the red star; the Azgayin Joghov building's gates still have the red stars. I have relatives (middle aged, far from being babushkas) who just lament over the collapse of the USSR anytime I bring it up. Heh, even Khachaturyan's anthem is better than the voghormeli one we got now. Edited April 1, 2008 by hyethga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVO Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Did you know that Russia went back and is using the old soviet anthem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanetsi Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Really.... Lets follow suit. Khatchaturian's anthem was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyethga Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Did you know that Russia went back and is using the old soviet anthem. Yeah, the same guy who wrote it back in Stalin's days was the one who wrote it when Putin took power. Seriously, let's just remove any mention of Lenin and Communism and replace them with some logical terms and we have a great new anthem.
