After reading the article, I realized that I am actually a Russian propagandist, I just didn't realize it until now ! It is true that my grandfather fought with a gun against the Russians in World War I, my father also fought with a gun against the Soviet Army in World War II. and then in 1956 against the Soviet tanks in Budapest, than the Soviet sympathizers wanted to kill him, but a Russian saved him and that's how he got to the Free World in 1957. As his son, I was subjected to the nightly house searches that the communist police conducted in our home for nearly a year. For a long time, I dreamed that one day I would be able to follow my father. But in the meantime, the Iron Curtain has fallen, I am now free to travel overseas and have to endure the piercing gaze of the immigration office officer, which reminds me of the former communist border guards. I follow the changes overseas, especially since 90% of my family are US or Canadian citizens. I see how the former Land of Freedom is becoming more and more like a police state, and that what I can say freely here in my country would already put me in prison over there in the US. So I realized that in the last fifty years since I became an adult, by telling the truth unchanged, I have turned from the loyal son of a freedom fighter into an ordinary Russian propagandist, well, I haven't changed ! Seems to me now , somebody whos telling the truth is suddenly become a Russians Propagandist ! :)
