A live podcast of a video interview with author Oleg Atbashian about his book "Shakedown Socialism" ( http://ShakedownSocialism.com ). Hosted by Catherine Engelbrecht at a weekly meeting of King Street Patriots in Houston, TX on September 19, 2011.
Oleg does have a fine website, and I've been one of the pseudo-progressives there for five years. He's seen things that we who are born here cannot. The most observant people are generally foreigners.
Oleg told me he was a believer in the Big Lie, then a Doubter, then a Skeptic, and now he's an Enemy. Thank god for someone who KNOWS what it's like and takes the time and has the talent.
@shihonage Welcome to the USA, you are the type of people we want here! Someone who appreciates freedom and does not piss on it like some who were born here....welcome!
Just read Shakedown Socialism, hands down one of the best books I've read to date! I bought mine for the Kindle...well worth reading folks. I trust someone who is from the USSR and has lived here. He knows both sides of the coin...unlike little rich kids who were born into freedom and plenty after the fall of the Soviet Union
The point is that the Novocherkassk protest was not a "union" strike - the unions had nothing to do with that! Those workers were sick and tired of being used and stepped upon, and there was NO help from the Unions because the Unions had become puppets for the Communist government. It's in my book.

I also migrated from former USSR in 1994. I love this man's site, and he speaks for me (and others like me) in this interview.

The union's protests that were brutally suppressed: search Wikipedia for "Novocherkassk massacre".
