How To Do Headscissors

CCCP

I remember writing this, I was a child, printed on the shirts of the national Russian, or rather Soviet. Among us, but I think it was common practice , it was said that cccp was to lose this with cock. Yet the defeat arrived on time. Before the European final against the Netherlands in the wonders of Gullit, Van Basten, Ryakard and then the much more serious that led to the end of the world. The collapse of the USSR, with everything he represented, was the end of a collective imagination, of hope for the exploited of the whole earth, a model to inspire them. Perhaps this is even worse than the end of the first experience of socialist countries. The opportunity to create a better world, or a socialist world still burns in the hearts of millions of human beings.
Now here in Russia, mix a number of factors about the recent past of this country's history of a people, instrumental use of symbols and men, a condition that was his life but hard feelings and a want to come back. Streets named after Marx and Lenin statues in every city, the hammer and sickle still printed on buildings, bridges and other buildings, stalls selling T-shirts, flags and an endless series of objects throughout the Soviet Union. It is difficult to even see people wearing clothes with the USSR and written with such coat of arms.

The Soviet Union no longer exists in its place a series of independent republics that have produced millions of poor and a few hundred wealthy. The contradictions between past and present are evident in Russia, unbridled capitalism and a lasting memory of the glorious communist past. Emblem of all that, the mausoleum of Lenin, that if he were alive would certainly be in the front row to create a new workers' soviets.
