Although it stands to reason%2C I suppose%3B Berezhnaya%27s 25%2C so she would have spent her formative years%2C up until the age of 14 or so%2C being taught the %22Hymn of the Soviet Union%22.  Plus%2C the new lyrics have only existed for a little while%3B under Yeltsin%2C the Russian Federation had a completely different national anthem that didn%27t %5Bi%5Dhave%5B%2Fi%5D any words.  Nobody liked it%2C in Russia or out%2C and it was only a year or so ago that Putin put the old one back with revised lyrics.  So under the circumstances... hell%2C if the lyrics to %22The Star-Spangled Banner%22 had been changed in 2000%2C and I was involved in a moment as emotional as that this week%2C %5Bi%5DI%5B%2Fi%5D wouldn%27t be able to remember any but the old ones either.%0D%0A%0D%0A%28Same thing happened to the Germans back in the fifties%3B they kept the music to their old national anthem but had to sing a different verse of the poem%2C %5Bi%5DEinigkeit und Recht und Freiheit%5B%2Fi%5D%2C than the one they were used to%2C %5Bi%5DDeutschland %DCber Alles%5B%2Fi%5D.  It%27d be like suddenly switching to the verse of %22The Star-Spangled Banner%22 about British blood washing out their foul footsteps%27 pollution. %3A%29%0D%0A%0D%0AAnyway%2C maybe she is a Communist%2C I%27ve no way of knowing... a lot of Russians think the country was better off under the Communists than it is under organized crime.  A person stood a much lower chance of getting randomly shot in the street back in the Soviet Union.  Given that Anton and Elena actually live in Pennsylvania%2C though%2C I%27m a bit dubious about that possibility...%0D%0A%0D%0ABut did you notice that Jamie Sale sang %22O Canada%22 in English and David Pelletier sang it in French%3F  They only %5Bi%5Dthink%5B%2Fi%5D they%27e from the same country. %3A%29%0D%0A%0D%0A--G.%0D%0A%5Bi%5DUnbreakable Union of freeborn Republics%2C great Russia has welded forever to stand... %5B%2Fi%5D%0D%0A-%3E%3C-%0D%0ABenjamin D.
