Moscow has problems keeping people in


If by Moscow, you mean the USSR, it’s ‘had,’ not ‘has.’
Otherwise, please explain.

FDR giving Stalin EVERYTHING he wanted post WWII was a travesty. Truman should have understood that. The Red Army should have been kicked back to the borders. The inevitable spread of Communism should have been crushed right then and there. Imagine no Korean War, rise of China, Cuba nor Vietnam War and all of the “dominoes”.

The American public had enough and wanted the boys home instead of yet another European war.

you are correct 1oldpro.

In fact, young Russians fleeing Putin and his stagnated economy make up much of Czech Republic’s current expat population. Not only that, but the events of 1968 continue to cast their shadow, even on the current generation.

“The number of Russians residing and working in the Czech Republic has been steadily growing in recent years. Today Russians are the fourth strongest foreign minority in the country, after Vietnamese, Slovak and Ukrainian nationals. In the last decade their number rose from 23,000 to 37,000.”
