Gosh, where have I been, I didn't know this until I just read your post! I must have had my head stuck in work for the last 24 hours! It's a good job I read Mylot now and again else I wouldn't know what's going on in the world! I'm not quite sure what the implications are, they already have their leader Vladimir, time will only tell I guess.

I would think that the transformations he has brought about would not be abandoned as there are too many who have exploited them. I don't think they would let it happen. I think the days of Russian communism are over. But with Russia, who knows?
