Howard,

Ask at your local post office,  but I am of the opinion that items marked
"Humanitarian Aid" are delivered duty free.  There are restrictions on
what may be included in these packages - no cold fusion units or nuclear

I would argue. Many people would argue. Fact is that very few
countries outside the East Bloc recognized the "annexation"
as legal.

And that is, by the way, why there is a crucial difference between
the Baltic states and the Central Asian states which sometimes are
quoted as examples for the Baltics states to follow.

Ha-ha. Germans killed 20 millions Russians and Russians killed 9 (if
memory serves me right) millions Germans 40 years ago and be sure
Russia and Germany have really good relationships. Soviet Union had
a rather big population of ethnic Germans, FYI. Now the creation of
German autonomy on Volga is on agenda of the Russian Supreme Council.
When people do not play ethnic hatred they can be much better off.

C'mon. Baltic countries basically had no choice; will you argue that
Nazi would be much better?

>My grandfather was executed because Stalin made
>a deal with Hitler giving the Soviet Union the Baltic States.

And i have no living grandparents guess why. Stalin made much more
evil for Russians than for anybody else. Should i go out and kill
every Georgian on sight? The prolonged death of communism (and millions
of lives) was the price Russia paid to get rid of the Nazism.
Basically, despite of being nearly destructed by Stalin's "clearing"
Soviet military was the only force capable to overthrow Nazi.
Now i like to hear bullshit about agression from the Europeans whose
countries were unable to provide even remotely adequate resistance to
Hitler. And if Hitler won the war in Russia (if ifs are applicable to
the history) America would quickly find itself in isolation. BTW, the
A-bomb and rocket reseach in Germany were quite at the edge.

Totalitarism is a military machine which got wild and took over the
whole society. In a war it's much more efficient than any democracy.
Need examples? Vietnam, Korea, recent Gulf War (ha-ha, Saddam is alive
and feels fine), the "second front" in WWII after all, which was opened
exactly after the war was decided. 

You cannot mend the history; you can accept it or you can try to
reverse it, which is stupid and quite dangerous. The lesson of the
20th century is:

ANYBODY WHO CLAIMS PEOPLE ARE GUILTY OR INFERIOR BECAUSE OF THEIR
ETHNICITY IS RACIST, IF HE ACTS TO FULFIL HIS CLAIMS HE'S CRIMINAL.

Applicable to antisemites, anti-antisemites, Sister Sojulah,
Saddam Hussein, Hasan Mutlu and Estonian government.

   Not necessary. The good example was just above. V.Erofeev is
(was) a very talanted writer. But his "Moskva Petushki" poem
is very difficult to understand the way a russian understands it.
I know an american who read that poem and he told me that he liked
that. But we liked different things in the book. And we loughed
at different things. BTW the humor is also different in Russia
compared to USA , may be that is why that american guy told that
poem "tragic" though I do not think so.

  Again the same thing. You put the word "drunken" among "poor
ignorant unstable" as having bad meaning. I would never do that.
So I guess that "Moskva Petushki" will be impossible to read
for you if you sometime want to try it.

I believe the term "Romania" was used at the beginning of the XIII century,
but for a different territory.  When the crusaders conquered territories
of the Byzantine Empire in 1204 (including Constantinople), they called their
latest acquisition "Romania."

  I think some of the arguments about Russians understanding American
culture and Americans understanding Russian culture are somewhat
overstated and argued about.  Due to the "Cold War", the education
systems and information systems on both sides presented very little
information about the other, and as a result, there currently is
much misunderstanding between our cultures.
  As an example, try out the following (in the US).  Walk up to the
first 10 people you meet waling down the street and ask the following
questions:
  1)  How many republics were in the former Soviet Union?
  2)  Name 5 Russian Authors.
  3)  What is the role of Lenin in Russian history (simply)?

  I would bet that no more than 2 in 10 could answer the 1st two
questions, and maybe 3 in 10 could state who Lenin was in simple
terms.
  A similar set of questions could be made up for Russians about
Americans.  
  The point is, how come you really expect someone to understand
another culture when they know nothing about the the people or their
history.  (I do suspect that Russians would perform better than
Americans in their responses.)

  Most Americans have not even read a book by a Russian author,
other than those with an interest in Russian history or 
academia.

Talking about statues... What about that nice piece I've seen in Turku, Finland?
It was a figure of Lenin in the center of the city (or should I say a bust).

  So now, at long last, Jarmo understood that Estonia & Latvia
have taken a honorable place not among the more or less
civilized european nations but rather among such thriving "democracies"
as Uzbekistan and Azerbajdzhan. That was also my point, Jarmo.
And I'm glad you finally managed to understand me.
  But my concern goes even farther, dear Jarmo. I would
dare to claim that Estonia is even worse than Uzbekistan
and Azerbajdzhan. Uzbekistan and Azerbajdzhan, contrary
to "ultra-democratic" Estonia didn't deprive their minorities
(even Armenian !) the electorial rights and didn't accept
outright fascistic citizenship laws.
  Again accept my congratulations, Jarmo. You made not a bad
progress during last week or two.
