	PINR - Democracy in the Former Soviet Union: 1991-2004
		While many Soviet people for decades secretly wished for their authoritarian communist government to either fall or change, most had no idea what would be able to effectively replace it.
		Soviet people were used to the mass showcasing of their collective desires, as millions would take to the streets in government-organized demonstrations during Soviet rule.
		Three of the most Western-leaning states in the F.S.U. were the fastest to shed their Soviet "skin" to launch the process of democratic reorganization.

	MILNET: The Former Soviet Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Soviet Union retains an impressive military force, probably the largets and most well trained military force in the world, surpassing the U.S. in sheer strength counts.
		The Soviet threat is based upon both their strategic and conventional forces as well as their very able and very well staffed intelligence agencies.
		The Soviet Union's military structure is controlled by the Communist Central Committee through the General Staff and fields an impressive array of Summary of Soviet Weapons, impressive even if the forces of the Soviet's Warsaw Pact allies are not included.

	The Zionist Century \| Concepts \| Aliyah
		For the most part, this was not a Zionist-motivated aliya; for the most part, former "refuseniks" and Zionist activists arrived in Israel between 1968 and 1973, or individually - upon their release from Soviet prisons [1979-1986].
		Indeed, it receded from the public eye with the increasingly severe Soviet restrictions on aliya from the early '80s, and there was little change in aliya figures under early "perestroika" [reconstruction] in the mid-'80s until more "liberalisation" of the economy and regime at the end of the decade.
		In addition, the path for olim from the western or European areas of the former Soviet Union has been far smoother than for those from the southern republics [Georgia, Bukhara and the Caucasus], when measured by their level of participation in the workforce, their income and continuation in their professional field.

	11/12/02 - Class Genocide Down The Memory Hole
		The Communist Party of the Soviet Union defined art, literature and truth as that which served the interest of the Party, as interpreted by the Party.
		Although the existence of the Soviet Union in no way justified the barbarity that had destroyed art, life and Russian culture, at least a superpower stood on the ruins and the graves.
		Now, more than a decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union from its own irrationality and injustice, it hits with full force that the genocide of an entire class of people, the destruction of a culture, and the suppression of the best human instincts, was all for nothing.

	Nuclear Blindness: An Overview of the Biological Weapons Programs of the Former Soviet
		Although the Soviet Union signed the Convention at its inception in 1972, it did not believe that the United States would be so foolish as to abandon its biological weapons capability, regarding the disarmament agreement as a `worthless piece of paper.'
		By the time of the breakup of the former Soviet Union, from which the Russian Confederation emerged in 1992, much had been achieved and war mobilization plans were in place for the surge production of huge quantities of the agents mentioned earlier, as well as a number of others, such as Marburg virus.
		After the subsequent defection of Kanadjan Alibekov (a former senior deputy director of Biopreparat) in 1992, the United States and the United Kingdom were certain enough that the offensive biological weapons program was continuing that they challenged the new Russian regime openly about it as late as 1993.
