Tuesday, June 15th, was the first "anniversary" of the bloody events which took place last summer in Iran. Of course it was not and could not be the kind of anniversary one might expect.
Much has been said about the aftermath of that infamous presidential election which handed the power to the meanest monkey among present-day politicians. I ruefully remember that exactly a year ago, right after we managed to get home safe and sound through burning streets, we used to sit around and talk, and talk, and talk. Many nights were filled with heated political discussions literally till morning. And Russia was such a nice topic to talk about.
The gang of my 21-year-old classmates knew about my love for everything in connection with Russia, and I somehow had to play the role of attorney in a court where everyone else was against the accused. People wholeheartedly believed that Russia was providing political and military aid for the cheaters in election. At times, I found my duties as Attorney at Law exceedingly difficult.
In a word, Russia was the No.1 topic when it came to foreign policy talks. Does Iran matter to you too, Russian pals?
I would like to know what people on this forum, Russian or otherwise, thought of Iran last year. Did you know that something unusual was going on at all? And if you knew, how did you think of that?
