Cold War

I will try to do most clear.

What do you think happen today on west?Political systems are connected.You had converted your political systems,in human devoted like one,after communism was established.After this one failed,western world  starts it's transformations.If there were no,computer connected markets and electronic fast reaction virtual banking,worst possible economic crises will rule all around the world today!?! So I believe that during the communism on the East,Western world lived his "own type of communism"!!?Therefore you "adventure" hard those changes after "falling of the Wall," inside your society!?!Good old Johny Lennon sings:
"Nobody told me there'd be days like these".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBCdlBrgEmE

Originally posted by opuslola "How the americans people see the communism ? the Russia ?" Both of the above are just the opposite of America! Just why do you think that the "Soviet" failed?

One of the problems was the fact that "Potemkin" cities, farms, etc., were perpetuated by the populace after the establishment of the Soviet!

It would seem almost impossible to impose a five or seven year plan concerning "crops" when the managers of the collectives, set out to fake good harvests, rather than take the risk of being shot!

If you have never heard of "Potemkim Villages" see next;

At the above site, you will be told that this system was or is, as myth!

But, under Soviet rule, it was not the exception, it seems, but reality!

Aeem, this may be more of what your looking for.  After WWII Russia was percieved as the new "enemy" but not in the way that the Axis was seen.  After all, uncle Joe had been an ally against the Axis.  It gradually became a situation of "enemy mine".  We studied as much Russian history as American.  As time went on the competition between the 2 sides, [US, Britain and France on one side Soviet block on the other] began to run into all aspects of life.  The Olympics has never been the same as it was when there was a Soviet Union.  The status quo became the rule, until Ronald Reagen. This is very brief, but if that's more of what your looking for let me know, I can go into it more in depth, as can others such as Opuslola.

Did You know that they belonged,ideological(Hitler and Stalin) to same group of self proclaimed ancestors of Empires?Stalin was Hitler's idol.Communism was social ideal for National Socialists party, for Germans only.Heavenly people were creators of new world ideology for lebensraum,living space.Therefore millions were needed dead,those that had not Aryan blood:Judges,Slaves,Gypsies,etc..etc..Agreement according to this was assigned  by  Molotov  and  Ribbentrop:

  Was this done by them?!?(lebensraum?)

Originally posted by Patryk I would add that Americans, and English-speakers more broadly, have always been quite hostile to communism.  Our hostility is rooted in thinkers like Locke and Adam Smith who are less influential on the European continent.    During WW II, the Americans act friendly toward the Soviets but that was just wartime propaganda.  There was little love for the Soviets since theWWir first days in power in 1918.  Woodrow Wilson hated them as did Lloyd George.  The first Red Scare was in the 1920 and 1930s.  The next Red Scare followed WWII by only a couple years.  Once the Soviets broke their promise of free elections in Poland and Czechoslovakia, all bets were off.  The Berlin Airlift was the last straw.  Once they blockaded Berlin in 1948, the Russians/Soviets lost all sympathy in the US ... except on college campuses and from idiots like Noam Chomsky and Barack Obama.
