      However you have sort of Socialism there , admit or not people have being cared about , confused , Dark Capitalism or Real Capitalism , I go for real Capitalism that has the tie to socialist doctrine . Communism, that thing was never anywhere implemented in a history of our civilization. Practically you will be well , very well under Communism , but we never had anything like it , that you should be wealthy as deserved , nice House , swimming pool at backyard , motorcycle , pick up truck on a drive way , your kids able to attend and graduate College , University with out worry if you can afford, because is designed to who wants to achieve more , go for it , money would not be obstacle to some one who is talented and has wisdom to become Engineer , technologist. Austria has those elements related to socialism rather than technocratic autotharian corporate capitalism.
      I would like to see comment :) Stay safe and well .

      Soviet Marshal is not Zhukov, nor is he Khrushchev, as someone else commented. He was Marshal Mikhail Katukov, commander of armored troops in the Red Army during and following World War II. He is viewed as one of the most talented Soviet armor commanders. In the 1970 film Patton, Katukov is portrayed drinking a toast with General Patton to celebrate their armies' mutual victory over Nazi Germany.

      And having seen the horrors of the concentration camps first hand but dying soon thereafter, you'll never know what his policy towards the. Jewish people was..
