Similarities are many and the comparison has its merits. The importance of building institutions and regulating the ills of society, as Wilson and Roosevelt did, is equally valid in current Russian development. Here, people like Kozlov are the heroes and forerunners towards a more civilised and humane society.<BR/><BR/>Yours,<BR/><BR/>VilhelmVilhelm Konnanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506899921990227704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19791491.post-1158767025780842192006-09-20T17:43:00.000+02:002006-09-20T17:43:00.000+02:00I think considering Kozlov a hero is really an exc...I think considering Kozlov a hero is really an excellent and accurate depiction of what the man was trying to accomplish. In the US, we have our own legendary individuals who fought corruption in the past ... Federal Agent Eliot Ness and the like. These men are much more legends than flesh and blood these days. 50 years from now, we should hope that men such as Kozlov achieve such legendary stature, for attempting to defeat widespread corruption and criminal elements within Russian society. May there be more men who challenge corruption and continue his work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763388102724032676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19791491.post-1158735001279280152006-09-20T08:50:00.000+02:002006-09-20T08:50:00.000+02:00However, there may be a successor to Kozlov's work...However, there may be a successor to Kozlov's work.
