If you open Wikipedia, you will find out that even in 1937 (the most repressive year of the Stalin's era), the Soviet Union had less people in "gulags" than land of the free, also known as USA has today. A very interesting fact ah, comrade?
The Afghan war was an absolutely useless campaign for the Soviet Union. I have no idea why we were involved there - no political interest, no profit... But even there we have lost 15 thousands during 10 years - much less than we lose in road accidents. The Afghanistan has lost up to 2 millions dead, BTW. I'm not going to defend that war, but for the huge Soviet Union it was a rather small military operation which was ended when Gorbachev has decided to show his good will to America.

Once again: a cheap & boring TV show which should be cut in 10x times. A show of some Italian beggars with mental disorders. I do really regret that I've spent my time for that shit. Go watch
Brigada and after that come here and tell me that "the Sopranos" show was good or even looked somehow realistic... I can repeat it: the Sopranos is a soup opera for girls. Slow, boring, unrealisting and absolutely senseless. If the real American mafia looks like this, I'm a prima ballerina from the Big Theater.
