The Soviet Union died on December 31, 1991. The system of a singular ruling party staffed by professional functionaries (AKA: apparatchiks) soon evolved into a hierarchy not unlike the Sicilian Mafia in America (La Cosa Nostra) with “Don” Putin ruling over Russia’s subservient oligarchical capos. Rich men, mostly, of whom several have been prone to unexplained deadly accidents since Putin’s “Special Military Operation” was launched.

Before Putin captured the Russian government, the old Soviet Politburo was the policy and decision-making center of the USSR.

When Khrushchev spoke critically of the deceased Joe Stalin, he was fired in a phone call made by a nearly unknown Russian, Mikhail Suslov. Suslov’s role in the Kremlin is described in Serge Petroff’s book entitled “The Red Eminence”. (Hard to find and expensive.)

For decades, Suslov was the ideological high priest of Soviet doctrine. He served as a king crowner. But was never king material himself. Seldom photographed. He minded the Communist store, as it were. And managed Soviet theory and practice as the unofficial chief ideologue of the party until he died in 1982. Then came…

After the USSR crashed, Soviet Army Colonel-General Dmitre Volkogonov gained access to previously classified information in the Kremlin. He used what he found there to write a series of three biographies on Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin. His fourth and final book was entitled “Autopsy For An Empire, The Seven Leaders Who Built The Soviet Regime”.

In the last book Volkogonov wrote before he died in December 1995, he wrote this:

And, he added this:

Now, seventy-seven years after Churchill’s speech, a domestic Iron Curtain has fallen over the United States of America.

The key question today is: How long will it stay down?

And who, if anyone, will be assigned by the Democrat Politburo to phone Joe and tell him he’s fired?
