Very nice historic site, especially the video collection. Check out the argumentation of Soviets, why they invaded Czechoslovakia (liberate the people who are crying for help, blah-blah). Does this remind you of any more recent events in world history? ;)

Nice bits of Russian history. Anyone who likes the site should check out Moscow 1941 by Rodric Braithwaite

However, Russian History is more than 1000 years old. Beware the Great Historical Error.

From the page: "Welcome to Seventeen Moments in Soviet History Soviet history, like few others, has a beginning and an end. Born in a surge of optimism on October 25, 1917, and dissolving in chaos on December 8, 1991, the Soviet experiment gave the world vivid examples of collective endeavor and civic self-destruction. "

Very interesting

A seemingly comprehensive summary of Soviet history put together by two scholars. I can't attest to it's accuracy, but it appears to be an honest attempt.

history is our past and we should have learnt something.

A huge amount of subject matter on a very few "important" moments in Soviet history. The dry facts are boosted by video, music of the period, and scads of pictures and photos.
