While these are of course plausible sources for problems surrounding the game, the single most fundamental part of this game has gone untouched in the blame game: the players.

Indeed, in the latest government-sanctioned high-school history text, Stalin is described as someone who used "terror as a pragmatic means of resolving social and economic problems."
