YELTSIN LIES IN STATE... IN A CATHEDRAL

FT:

Thousands of Russians paid their respects to Boris Yeltsin on Tuesday as he lay in state in a Moscow cathedral, honouring the controversial leader they said had ultimately won them freedom amid fears that his death came as that legacy was being undone.

Many in the queue snaking around Moscow’s vast Christ the Saviour cathedral had taken to the streets with the country's first freely elected president as he stood atop a tank to face down a coup on August 19 1991 and in doing so changed the course of history.
IN A FREAKIN' CATHEDRAL! THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE COMMIES RULED THE USSR.

MEANWHILE, UN-ATONED COMMIES LIKE GORBACHEV, AND COM-SYMPS LIKE PROF. STEPHEN F. COHEN POO-POO YELTSIN - I GUESS IT'S TO BE EXPECTED. COHEN SAID ON CBS-RADIO THAT RUSSIA WAS BETTER OFF UNDER COMMUNISM.

YEAH, SURE: WHEN THE CATHDRALS WERE EMPTY AND THE PEOPLE YEARNED TO BE FREE. FREE TO PRAY. TO WORSHIP. TO MOURN IN A CHURCH.

TO LEFTISTS, FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS MEANINGLESS - A VESTIGE OF BOURGEOIS MAKE-BELIEVE. (SO IS THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS TO THE LEFT!)
