Communism? That worked out well for all concerned.

 

Whereas capitalism is just a barrel of laughs for all and sundry....

I played golf last week with a guy whos father was in the Ukrainian Military in 1917. In fact, he was a Kosak (spelling) and very very wealthy so effectively on the losing side of the revolution.

 

He was captured and was set to be executed but managed to escape from Hospital and swim across the Danube to get away. His family home (which by all accounts was bigger than holyrood palace) became the Communist party headquarters. Its a bit outside Kiev. Was a great educational round of golf.

Just to clarify, all this has happened since the Hobos last won the big cup, right? unsure.giflaugh.gif

 

 

 

Even this happened after the Hibees won it

one of the greatest pieces of music ever IMHO - great sections at 3:20 minutes , 8:30 and from 13.30 onwards which really capture the fire of revolution and the contrast between the authorities and the popular movement. Fantastic soudn quality for a youtube video too
