	Russia, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, HIV, AIDS, Former Soviet Bloc
		Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union now have the fastest-rising rates of HIV infection in the world, with the number of HIV-positive people in Russia growing fifteenfold in the last three years, the United Nations reported Wednesday.
		The highest rate of infection in the region is in Ukraine, where at least 1% of the population is now infected with the virus, officials said.
		In the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union, half of all cases are in people under the age of 20.

		Albania broke with the Soviet Union in the early 1960s and aligned itself instead with the People's Republic of China.

	Communist Bloc Expansion in the Early Cold War: Challenging Realism, Refuting Revisionism
		The essence of the early Cold War was that the Soviet Union and its ideological clients were united and expansionist, and that the United States was relatively slow in reacting to the global nature of the threat posed by that expansion.
		Determining whether the Soviet Union was an actively expansionist power is thus essential to ascertaining responsibility for the origins of the Cold War, the plausibility of Western threat perceptions, the accuracy of realist theories, and the defensibility of the resulting containment policies.
		Moreover, the Soviet actions in support of the Koreans included a direct role in the fighting that was far greater than previously known in the West: a total of 70,000 Soviet pilots, gunners, and technicians served in Korea, and claimed to have shot down a total of 569 allied aircraft.

	Making Democracy Work in the Former Soviet Bloc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The fall of the former Soviet Bloc was, I believe, a more significant event than most Westerners have as yet come to realize.
		The other process underway is the transition of the entire Communist bloc in Europe to market-driven economies-much less understood or talked about in the news but vitally important to the success of democracy.
		Only then will the liberated populations of the former Soviet Bloc and, in fact, the world-at-large start to reap the benefits of the monumental event that took us all by surprise.

	FRUS, 1961-63, Vol. IX: Foreign Economic Policy: Section 16
		When the Bloc undertakes to support a civil aviation program that is uneconomic to begin with, it runs the risk of being saddled with the costs and the onus of responsibility when the program fails and disillusionment sets in.
		As long as the other industrialized countries of the West are satisfied with the conditions under which their trade with the Soviet bloc takes place, there is no compelling reason for them to impose new or different standards or regulations, especially if such action is unlikely to increase the level of trade.

	Socialism and the Soviet Bloc
		To be able to present the Soviet bloc as a mighty monolith, threatening and immutable, should help our ruling classes at home.
		It is to suggest that if in the first quarter-century after Stalin's death the Soviet economy was sacrificed to preserve the old political order, in the second quarter-century the political structure is likely to burst asunder under economic and social pressure.
		Solzhenitsyn's message looks ostentatiously to the past, and his chosen constituency, the peasantry, is shrinking, yet the fact that he nevertheless finds an echo in the country strong enough to frighten the leadership is a measure of the damage wrought by Stalinism and an indication of the ideological desert into which Stalin's heirs are preaching.

	AEGiS-Reuters: Former Soviet Bloc countries face explosion in HIV
		Syphilis and several other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are raging through many of the former Soviet republics, and experts fear HIV -- now at a very low level relative to the rest of the world -- will mirror this trend soon.
		The danger is worsened by a lack of co-ordinated health education programmes aimed at high-risk groups in the former Soviet Bloc countries, said the Lithuanian National AIDS Co-ordinator Dr. Saulius Caplinskas.
		Gromyko told reporters STDs were a big problem in many of the countries of the former Soviet Union while neighbours like Hungary or the Czech Republic have STD rates similar to Western Europe -- less than two per 100,000 population.

	Dave's Trains, Inc.: Introduction to Soviet Union O-Gauge Trains
		In addition, travel to the former Soviet Union was made easier with the fall of the Iron Curtain and some trains have been found in the larger cities in Russia, including Moscow.
		The Soviet trains are remarkable in that they can be described simultaneously with adjectives that cover opposite ends of the spectrum: the products are superior yet inferior, the designs are clever but simplistic, and the engineering is both innovative and comical with plagiarism.
		Overall there is a certain mystique about the Soviet trains that is hard to explain but the handful of passionate collectors who have been charmed by these fascinating trains know exactly what I mean.

		But a 27-country survey by the Lithuanian branch of her network, spanning central Europe to the former Soviet Union, has found that less than 1% of those infected are getting the three-drug cocktail recommended by the World Health Organisation.
