I found this article in extremely poor taste. Usenet is, I thought, for
computing and international conviviality. The presence of Soviet sites
on the net would be an excellent way of promoting these.

The person who fudged this up clearly has access rights to their site's news
facilities. If I worked there I'd be somewhat worried about security.

Is it really beyond the wit of the perpetrator to find an April Fool which
is more than foolish?
