lang, culture. Few hundred thousand returned to former SU, 70s-today.

Downs perhaps a little worse, but ups a little better. More or less normal life. Crying
when Stalin died, afraid of what will happen, who will protect us? Khrushchev
capricious, people breathed when he was dismissed. Brezhnev, stability.

measure normal life? Anachronisms, comparisons w life in W. Compare w/
neighbors. J masses were living just great. Changes 80s, early 90s. Cossacks
persecuting? No, econ became worse in 80s and 90s, but now they had a place to
go.
SU and US, proxy wars many places. United Arab Republic, backed by SU? Didn't
want war. Not calling all shots. Latakia.
49 Tsahal further than UN agreement of 47? SU finds that not fitting as socialist
partner. Korean War all nations, what to vote in UN? UN going to war? IL required to
vote
