First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics.

After the paper was closed down in 1991 by decree of then President Boris Yeltsin, many of the staff founded a new paper with the same name, which is now a tabloid-style Russian news source. There is an unrelated Internet-based newspaper, Pravda Online ( www.Pravda.ru) run by former Pravda newspaper employees. A number of other newspapers have also been called Pravda, most notably Komsomolskaya Pravda, formerly the official newspaper of the now defunct Komsomol and currently the best-selling tabloid in Russia.

So, I'm not buying this fashionable brand of "anti-Authoritarianism" these various shills and ignorami are selling, this attack on the very idea that people in power are human beings, no worse nor better than the rest of us. That everything would be fine if we just let the strongest decide for the weakest. And logic is a compulsion that inevitably leads to some outrageous "conclusion" or other--everything we don't like today is just a dangerous first step toward some absolute disaster. Fortunately for us humans, our big plans just don't tend to work out all that well.

You ought not to stop reading. This is a premier news source of a major world nation discussing our country.

Insights abound. We may not agree with what they say. We may be able to easily identify much of it as drivel. But this is what a lot of people think of us.
