Rather a good closing to this piece about the Soviet enslavement of Eastern Europe:
So, who is the Soviet Soldier, really – a liberator or an enslaver? The
answer to this question can be given only by the people of Russia. If
we will not repent, he will remain the enslaver. And if repentance
comes, he will be an honest but misguided soldier. May that memory be
blessed forever.

That wouldn’t be Boris Berezovksy, the Eastern European asylum seeker wanted by Interpol would it? The same one who recently called for the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government? Can’t be, as I’m sure the Daily Telegraph would never publish an article by such a person…….
Tim adds: It would indeed. But why not publish? The Groan published Osama Bin Laden after all, although I’m not sure they knew where to send the cheque.
The best judges would be the people those soldiers claimed to have liberated. The repentance of the Russian people doesn’t really make any difference, just as the repentance of a criminal doesn’t make much difference to a victim.
