I am truly sorry for your family. Are you sure that all their prosecutors were Soviet Russians? Is it possible that at least some of them were Soviet Ukrainians, Soviet Belarussians, Soviet Georgians etc... or were they just - Soviets? And do you know what triggered such harsh measures?

Anyway. You've admitted two things: that your old personal issues with one country and one ideology who do not exist any more affects your reasoning today; and that your primary source of informations are your Maidan buddies. Fair enough. You are hugely biased and it's completely understandable. But also worth noting.

As for the bitcoin, I've been in it for as long as you were, perhaps even longer. Wish I had motives and time to dedicate so much energy into it as you did. Your contribution is surely much appreciated... but what does this have to do with this particular thread?
