In 1991, when the "great powerful Soviet Union" began to tear at the seams, and the fate of the KGB was uncertain, leaders of Perestroika and chiefs of state security hurried to assure Russian society and political activists that state security services would no longer conduct political monitoring. At first it seemed that this would be so. Although even then it was explained that even with former dissidents by no means everything was at an end - some investigations remained in operational development. For a long time "work" on political opposition, if it was being conducted, was sufficiently unnoticeable. The Administration of Constitutional Safety of the FSB of Russia, created in 1998, did not advertise its activities. ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 12/29/2006 3:11 AM Russia is an imperialistic prison of the peoples Publication time: 28 December 2006, 18:31 There is one fact that is seldom taken into consideration by the rest of the world when it deals with Russia today. It is that all the small nations of the Russian borderlands are newly-liberated erstwhile colonies of Russia. Russian imperialism under the Tsars metamorphosed into Russian imperialism under the Communists, which in turn has metamorphosed, starting in 1991, into another version of Russian imperialism, this one fueled by a mix of nationalism and fascism and bearing a strong resemblance to Mussolini's imperialism of times past. Since the collapse of the USSR empire in 1991, the ex-colonies have been warned by the West - NATO, European Union - not to evict or mistreat their resident Russian colonizers, and to meticulously conform with the human rights standards of the Western democracies and ... >> full

Königsberg was seized by russian troops in 1945, the indigenoues german population was brutally massacred and expelled.
