Here's an interesting conversation. I was talking to a Russian friend of mine about my humble opinion that we shouldn't really be celebrating 'Victory Day.' Yes, I'm fine with a Memory Day, or a Remembrance Day, but I don't see the point of a Victory Day. This was answered with lots of nonsense about how many people died etc. which I responded could be remembered during a Remembrance Day. The next excuse was that it wasn't the killing that we were celebrating, but the victory against fascism. Hmmmm. I bought that for about 10 seconds before I looked up the definition of fascism. If you have the same dictionary as I, I'd like to draw your attention to the combination of state and business leadership, and especially to the part about belligerent nationalism.
Yeah, great job at victory over that, T-stan.
