"After the revolution when Iran stopped being Persia they quickly went back to a 2nd world country."

Actually the classification of 1st / 2nd / 3rd world is not about economic development level, but about allegiance to the Western block (1st world), Soviet block (2nd world) or neither (aka "non-aligned").

This world that we live in today, where "paid reviews", "forum astroturfing", "blog spamming" and "rabid fanboyism" are been actively encouraged and sponsored by for profit corporations such as Microsoft, Adobe, Apple Inc., - mainly from the Western democracies - any effort in linking Russia to similar "illegal" and/or "unethical" activities is futile

if you can't distinguish between private businesses and a government intelligence agency then, my friend, you're a moron.

Is that simple.

Condemning Communism because of the actions of Stalin or Mao is simply ignorant.

My dear, you are an ignorant cretin when saying these cretinous words. Both Stain and Mao *applied* the Communist doctrine and in doing so they sent tens of millions to their graves. The actions of Stalin and Mao were undoubtedly a direct consequence of their Communist policies.

When you're too brainwashed to accept facts, please stop commenting on them on the Internet, you're wasting precious bandwidth.

During the last 2 months I just watched in disbelief how my country's stability spiraled out of control

Romania today is just as stable as 2 months ago or 2 years ago. Sorry to pop your drama bubble, but there is no such spiral in Romania.

For very very strong political reasons, he's been placed in charge of our government.

That's how real democracies work: prime ministers get office only for political reasons. The stronger the reasons, the better. And yes, you seem unaware of basic rules of functional, Western-style democracy.

Everything he ever did in his life he owes to his masters (including his wife. no kidding.)

Chauvinist much?

The bottom line is that the tension is very high with a very elaborate, political and special interests groups led, conspiracy to capture the justice system being in danger because this guy plagiarized his doctoral thesis. This really matters to me because I'll have to move out of the country if those groups succeed.

Such paranoid statement is beyond ridiculous. Yeah, the Romanian nerd will have to emigrate if some despicable new politician conspiracy to cover-up his plagiarized PhD thesis will end up in capturing the entire justice system.

My advice is to stop playing drama queen on Slashdot and start realizing it's all a storm within a tea cup, affecting a few politicians in a small democracy already part of the EU.

"the German state of Hamburg"

Actually Hamburg is a so-called "free city" inside Germany (i.e., is not part of any state / land) due to its history as a free city since 1189. While technically it is a self-governing entity at the level of state, its name and real status is that of a "free and Hanseatic city".

Deprive a mirror of its silver and even the Czar won't see his face.
