    Looking up those names and OMG that guy became such a fucking wretched liberal. Like holy shit he sounds based when he was young and then just the biggest ideologue for fascists

      The folks you'll hear about inevitably went that direction after glasnost, because they were willing to trade on existing credibility. The folks who didn't just disappear into obscurity. Digging up old forgotten scholars and piecing together a better picture of history makes for exciting grad school work, but fails to pay the bills at the corporate level.
