agnothi seauton I -- a great, unobserved social experiment?

the changes in Russia since the signatured end of another empire in history, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR, CCCP), has presented an opportunity to observe humans, political systems, societies, cultures...in a time of broad and deep social change. it is an additional indication of the demographics of societies and psyches, that so few people have cared (or dared?) to pay attention to this great historical, social "experiment"-experience as such. as an opportunity to learn more about humanity. most just live(d) in it, not reflecting much on it or themselves. carpe diem of an unreflective sort.
