It was a great day. Great for me, because as a socialist I knew that never again would my ideas be linked with the Stalinist regime in the USSR - people just made assumptions back then if you said you were a socialist, without realising that the regime that existed was about as far as you could get from the democratic traditions that socialism came out of. I don't think anyone has told me 'get back to Russia' since the wall came down, which is a great relief.
Marvellous, watching the people at the wall, taking it down, and the huge outpouring of hope was overwhelming.

Are you of Russian origin, then, Epona? I didn't know that!
