The teacher of course starts to talk aniway. It is Mr Redge, a black man from america himself. Talk is he fled after he was forbidden to teach real history to his students. "Okay folks I don't care if you want to hear this but you damn sure should know, cause of someday we are all blown out in one big nuclear explosion this will be one of the sides that you have to thank. Of course, you have all heard about the big breakdown in 88. No don't give me that look, I know you have forgotten it but i just told you last month. Okay, the short version is that it all fell apart in the Soviet Union. The long term effects of communism had brought the Russians to their knees and no amount of force from the government could prevent hungry people from going to the streets or an econimy without resources from breaking down. It was time for a change in leadership and for a short time it looked like the Soviets could even become democratic. Of course you all know that it didn't happen that way and the mere idea makes most people laugh. But it could realy have happened as unlikely as it seems then you look at Russia now. Fact is that for some people the changes did not come fast enough and the decided to take the matter in their own hands. Especialy one General Mikhail Tretyak. Yep that's the one called Mighty Misha by the media, don't tell me you don't even watch news animore. At that time General Tetyak was the official head of Grimson Pride. Oh yes of course you have heard of those, why doesn't it wonder me that you know about people who blow up a lot of stuff. For those of you that do not know, Grimson Pride is the name the Russians gave the Delta Special teams of their country. The General was one in a long line of leader the government had appointed for the squad since they did not want to give one of the mutants the command. They where just as paranoid as the american government after Kennedys death. Unlike his precedors General Tretyak did not meet an unexlpained early end since his people highly repsected him. It's said that this was for the simple matter that he rarely sent them on suicide missions. There are no actual facts available about his command of course so all this is just speculation. The fact is that he just stormed the goverment and took over the country in a bloody coup. He personaly shot every member of the politburo that wouldn't pledge  his unswerving support to the new regime and he did it live on TV so we can be fairly sure it realy happened. If i can get the permision of your parents we might watch those scenes next week but I warn you that this was realy a terrible moment. Tretyak lived by one rule: "Might makes right" and he had a lot of might on his side, especialy after the other military forces joined him. He weeded out corruption in the government with way that would even have impressed the inqusition and within weeks he had the country rolling as if the troubles of the early 80s had just been a bad dream. Most historians asume that wihtout him the Soviet Union would have crumbled and the Iron Curtain would no longer exist."</blockquote>
