Correctly Remembering Russia's History

Today -- Tuesday, January 18, 2007 -- marks the 89th anniversary of Russia's short-lived and long-forgotten All-Russian Constituent Assembly. This was a democratically elected parliament, chosen from among thirteen political parties on December 8, 1917, some four weeks after the so-called "Great October Revolution" on November 7, 1917.
