…yeah, bought a real pig in a poke with that one. Kinda makes you wonder why we didn't fund the Whites more once we saw what a clusterfuck the Bolsheviks made of things.

Was it you that recommended Richard Pipes? He commented in "Communism" that Soviet management took Russian grain production from 2nd or 3rd in the world (can't remember) to dead last in less than a decade.

Pipes? Don't remember. (I don't think so.)
