Russia's future may never get brighter unless its citizens and government come to terms and acknowledge its soviet past. What the soviets did to their own citizens is shocking. Russia has a history of sweeping this kind of history under the carpet and not speaking about it which is the same as tacitly approving what went on. Mr Putin's government is following the slippery slope of an authoritarian regime by controlling the media and not tolerating dissent.
