Exactly, Russia right now is run by mobsters, it is because the Soviet regime is not there anymore.
Who in the hell gave you the idea that the U.S. supplied arms to Russia??? That is even funny. Russia always had and has a huge military arsenal, actually all that the Soviet Union did was to make tanks, guns ect.. The question still stands, who first entered Berlin????

I am not saying that Russia did not have a huge military arsenal. But after 4 years of war it was depleted. Towards the end the U.S. was a huge supplier of arms and diesel fuel to Red Army. You best check your history.
So what if Red Army first to enter Berlin. What about the rest of Europe? Which army was first to enter Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and 100's of other European town and cities. Thank God it was the Americans. Look at the countries which the Soviets entered. ie. Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, East Germany etc. During Soviet occupation what was their experience? I have met 100's of people who escaped Eastern Europe during soviet rule and they all say the same thing. Life under the soviets was horrible. Compare that to the countries the U.S. entered, ie. France, Holland, Belgium, West Germany, Italy, etc. What was their experience? It was much much much better. ie. freedom and prosperity.
Yes compared to the Nazis, the Soviets were better, but compared to western democratic countries, such as U.S., Canada, U.K., France etc. the Soviets were evil and despotic.
If Russia has problems now its because of its own failings. Russia needs to rid itself of corruption. Russians need to learn how to do business honestly. Why do you think so many sponsors ban Russian webmasters? Do you see any sponsors banning American webmasters?
