	I'm sorry, I have posted too much today, and will be quieter in
the future, but sometimes it occurs to you exactly waht you want to say
after you've already said it.



	I think you can say, without controversy, that the Bolsheviks
brought socialism to the world's consciousness and made people believe it
was a real alternative, that the Rusian/Red army was decisive in beating
Hitler, and that Stalinist foreign policy put intense pressure on the
U.S.-led industrial world.  I'm not sure whether you can conflate these
things into a legacy of the Soviet Union.
