Polls show the DNS with a commanding lead in June elections. While Sturm speaks of democracy to TV cameras, the recently retired commander of the German Army tells a convention of senior officers, old Gestapo agents, and SS veterans that once the DNS comes to power, it will quickly re-establish the borders, power and discipline of the Third Reich. This, of course, is merely an ugly fantasy. Germany is thoroughly and resolutly democratic. The above scenario is happening right now in Moscow.
Few westerners seem concerned.
The new communist leader, Gennady Zuganov, currently leads the floundering Boris Yeltsin in Russia's upcoming presidential race, To westerners, Zuganov speaks in dulcet tones. This is nothing less than the creation of a world communist hegemony, led by Moscow. As Stalin's ghost was rising from the grave, western media and political leaders remained curiously mute. Ever since Washington declared the Cold War over and won in 1991, the western media and politicians have refused to see the obvious facts about Russia. Namely, that Moscow is slowly, painfully reforming the old Soviet empire.
