Hey, GreatWhiteNinjaMan showed me this documentary, and I thought I'd share it with you guys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAybLqGCac8

It's a fascinating, if creepy, exposé of radical nationalist elements in modern Russia. Doc's title: "FOR GOD, TSAR, AND MOTHERLAND". Enjoy.

Meh, Russia is pretty much a hub for reactionary ideals nowadays.

Also that guy didn't know what the cold war was. As I remember half way though the film he said the cold war was about the USA v.s. Russia and that a new cold war in which Russia would become a new imperialist power should be fought.
Didn't he know that it was actually a battle between Capitalism and Socialism?

Well that's not 100% correct(His statement) but it's permissible I think. Those were the two major contenders in the Cold War. USA trying to gain influence here, USSR trying to gain influence there, yeah a lot of Europe was with the USA but the USA was like the leader in this "war". Same thing with the USSR, they were always the leaders against capitalism during the Cold War. So it's not 100% correct but that was the gist of it, capitalism=USA, USSR=socialist, etc.

True but what I was trying to say was that the USA didn't have a cold war with Russia just because they were Russia, there was far more to it.
