Deputy PM calls for informing public on crimes of communism - January 10, 2014

Read this POLITICS.HU article
The crimes committed by communist regimes should become a matter of public knowledge both in Hungary and the world at large, Deputy Premier Tibor Navracsics said in an interview published by the monthly public administration magazine Kozszolgalat on Thursday.
Under the legislation passed last December, those who were under surveillance by informants in the communist era would be allowed to make public the names of their informers.

The Cuban paradox - January 6, 2014

Read this Foreign Policy article
Raúl Castro's attention to the system's flaws is no doubt a breath of fresh air for Cubans tired of living in la-la land. It has compelled Raúl to introduce some of the most sweeping market-oriented reforms of the last 55 years. But the problem is that Cuba's president is acting both as a reformer and a stalwart of the long-standing revolutionary regime. Raúl wants to reform and preserve the system, and this is producing hesitant and confusing reforms.

Couple recounts journey from communism to freedom - December 23, 2013

Read this Gering Citizen article

This article is a true story about how a couple lived under former communist Croatia. They describe in their own words how horrible communism was for not only their country but also for them personally.

“During communism, everyone became closed. They didn’t express their faith; they didn’t express anything,” Nives said. “Anytime they saw groups of people they thought they were conspiring against the government.” “They would talk about how communism was the thing and you don’t depend on God,” she said. Communism invaded every area of life. It restricted travel, censored communication and tightly controlled people’s careers. “If you were not in the communist party, the jobs were not available or you had a lesser job. Communism took over all private business. There was no freedom to do your own thing,” Nives said. The Jelichs said one of those restricted freedoms was one that many take for granted – the freedom to openly criticize the government. “There was no freedom of speech,” Frank said. “You’d have to close the door and you’d have to make sure no one was around.” The Jelichs said all of these circumstances combined created a horrible climate of fear in their birthplace. “[The government] put a fear in people; that was their tactic, to make people afraid,” Frank said. “They wanted to control and oppress the people.” “Everyone was afraid. There was no freedom,” Nives said.
