I guess holding the Olympics in Russia has some fringe benefits BTW the "A Punk Prayer" documentary on {censored} Riot (it shows on HBO from time to time IIRC) is pretty interesting. It walks the fine line between showing that {censored} Riot were actually pretty obnoxious on some levels along with the heavy-handed way the Russian government dealt with the situation.

Members blue2blue Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Putin's Stalinism Lite is profoundly worrisome. It looks like he and his cohort have been laying the foundation for a return to old style Russian quasi-fascistic dictatorship. The foot in the boot changes. But it stays on the throat of the people. (To paraphrase an old expression.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
