I agree, but not in everything. The Bolsheviks themselves began to destroy Russia by blowing up Alexander II. And then they "saved" it by promising land and factories. Who knows what heights the Russian Empire would have reached if Alexander had lived for even one more decade...

What are you talking about, Sasha II was blown up by anarchist terrorists—I don't remember which party—the Bolsheviks didn't even exist at that time. Who knows, maybe there was nothing at all, and history should be treated with respect; our fathers and grandfathers didn't give their lives for nothing, believing in a bright future for us, yet we haven't achieved anything and we bash the rulers of the past. Winning the war, flying into space, creating the hydrogen bomb, winning the overall team place at all Olympics, even football was better, not to mention hockey—these are truly achievements that modern Russia is oh so far from.
