Russian Society Aggrieved over Defeat in Cold WarJune 7, 2006 - 14:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Russian society feels aggrieved over the defeat in the cold war. The burst of neo-fascism and crimes in Moscow is conditioned by this fact, Armenian National Assembly Vice-speaker Vahan Hovhannisian stated in Yerevan. "Russia came to grief in all fields: the communist ideology has collapsed, the economy has been undermined, huge territories have seceded from a united state. This could not but tell on the mood of the society. Moreover, the economic growth is conditioned not by the industry development but by oil," he remarked.In Hovhannisian's words, the Russian fascists are not aware of what they are speaking about. "They are reasoning of the purity of the race, but if Mussolini or General Franco appeared in the Moscow subway they would be immediately killed since they are "black-skinned". As for the measures undertaken by the Russian government against fascists, the Vice-speaker considers they are not efficient enough.
