Be that as it may, it is a different discussion for another time and I do not want to get into a dispute over it and derail this thread into a discussion about Soviet politics. My point is that the labels change over the years. Yesterday's "freedom fighters" become today's "terrorists" who become tomorrow's "freedom fighters" again. It's all a big semantics game.
