President George W. Bush dedicated the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Washington today...
...While Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated Russian Independence Day by awarding Alexander Solzhenitsyn state honors.Bush's event commemorates a defeat--Bush I's disastrous Tiananmen Square massacre. Putin's meeting symbolizes a victory--the restoration of non-Communist Russia and blessing from the leading Russophile writer (who refused honors offered by Yeltsin).
So, I'd have to call this a win for Putin. He's the bigger anti-Communist.
