...WHAT'S GOING ON IN RUSSIA TODAY? I see challenges and successes, tremendous successes. You may know the famous book written in the late 1960s by Andrei Amalrik [Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?]. His nightmare scenario was not just one small Chechnya, but civil war on a wholesale scale.
