It is an interesting idea. You know that plant girl asking Obama a question just triggered in me this rage, it 100% resembled the young pioneers crap we used to have back in the old country. I almost smashed my TV. How dumb can people be?
When I read the title of the thread I remember when USSR fell, I lived in Kyiv then and student there staged a hunger strike. I was about 13 then and going there talking to the people profoundly changed me.. also reading Archipelag Gulag around the same age. I live in Canada so not sure I can help much, but is a good idea I am sure there are more people like those guys and me who would be happy to help.
One issue you will have that few of us can talk calmly about it. I can debate people of any kind, but actually speaking about it in public would more resemble a call to hang all commies off the lamposts rather then a good account of events.
Thanks for your input & offer to participate. Now that we have YouTube, it would makes getting these stories out to the masses via video and much easier & maybe less threatening for some who might be hesititant to speak in front of crowds. We’ll keep you posted.
