The last response is an example of the kind of flirtation with relativism
that briefly had Yuri Andropov reading Jackie Susann, listening to Chubby
Checker, and thinking liberal thoughts.  The USSR is not Russia.  Because
we are all bound by geography the Kremlin's policies in the past 60 years
have in several instances recapitulated the Czars' ambitions.  But we face
something far more persistent than the kind of thing one "grows out of":
Marxist-Leninist theory is a damn effective way to grab power and keep it.
