I always have to point this out, the first time I checked out Dissent Magazine, their main article was about the downfall of the Eastern Bloc. It was about the privileges the apparatchiks had, and how they sent their kids to elite universities in the West. I was not familiar with the author, so I googled her name. The fist hit from google was her page on the NED website... Yeah it was the last time I checked out Dissent Magazine
