What you didnt see in Sochi The struggle of freedom against tyranny is the struggle of memory against forgetting. So wrote the great Czech novelist Milan Kundera. In Russia, forgetting has won. These Olympics opened with a pageant of Russian history that excised the crimes of Soviet Communism. No Red Terror. No Gulag. No Ukrainian famine. No Katyn. The violence in Ukraine divides a public that wants to align with Europe from an authoritarian leadership backed by Moscow. Wherever you find an international bad actor, from Venezuela to Iran, there you find a Russian ally. cnn/2014/02/10/opinion/frum-sochi-opening-soviet/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
