I was going to ignore this article on internet hacking in Russia, until I got to the very end.

This quote really leaped out at me.

“I don’t see in this a big tragedy,” said a respondent who used the name Lightwatch. “Western countries played not the smallest role in the fall of the Soviet Union. But the Russians have a very amusing feature — they are able to get up from their knees, under any conditions or under any circumstances.”

As for the West? “You are getting what you deserve.”

Gee, I guess they don't teach about Ronald Reagan over there. Too bad, because it was his willingness to challenge a corrupt and unstable Soviet system that enabled the peoples oppressed by the Communist regime to rise up against the tyrants his policies had weakened.
