No postprocessing - posted as it was, I thought it was ok, interesting... I was very much surprized to see Soviet symbolics in Switzerland. Why? Strange... Who put it? A nostalgious former USSR resident? A new fanatic? Hmmm...

This, actually, brought some nostalgia to ME, myself, it reminded good "soviet" times in the former USSR, not a bad country at all, like they try to depict it now. My childhood there was REALLY HAPPY! Listen to this, all! IT WAS! The IDEA of equality was not bad! It feels much worse when some can have everything possible, not putting really too much effort into it, and some have to work as dogs, or horses, or "Fathers Carlo" to earn just minimum for living.

There used to be FREE education in the Soviet Union, free medical care, almost free child care and dwelling, just NO unemployment - what else can provide more security in life and an assurance in future? (Rhetorical, it is ALL gone. Sigh.) Sad, nostalgious thoughts. It is all gone.

Ah, because of all these thoughts almost forgot to explain that "20 Minutes" is a free Swiss evening newspaper.
