This week marks the thirtieth anniversary of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. On December 25th, 1991, the Kremlin in Moscow lowered the red and yellow of the Soviet hammer and sickle, bringing to close an epoch of history that would change everything forever. In the United States, we are told stories, so many stories, almost all of them aggrandizing ourselves and laundering our history. The Cold War as a story is a triumph of American culture, perseverance, and courage, a victory of the Good over the Evil. And, like so many of those American stories, this narrative is nothing more than a fairy-tale.
Oooof. I feel this.
