Russia ,
I CAN blame Russia for being like it is, and I do. Instead of turning towards a more moderate sense of government, they are turning towards a more inward looking fascist regime. This i look down upon, and the Russians who do nothing about it? I look down upon them even more.
Bring back Soviet Russia, because in Soviet Russia, wage earn you.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think soviet_man was inferring that it was okay to be a skinhead if you are poor. Rather, I think he was saying that poverty is often a pre-condition for adopting extremist ideologies. The average member of the working class in Russia has seen his/her quality of life greatly decline in the last ten to twenty years. While I'm not acting as an apologist for the Soviet/Stalinist regime, it definitely had an innumerable problems, the transition to capitalism in Russia has been neither smooth nor successful.
