I swear I posted in a thread today about the impact of Soviet Communism on the economy of the region.  
Was it disappeared?

In Soviet Russia, sometimes threads are deleted!

I know nothing. Nothing!

About this thread anyway. But sometimes threads disappear when they turn out to have been posted by a sock for a previously disappeared poster.

Makes me wonder if an announcement about those threads’ disappearances in this forum wouldn’t be a good thing. Again, no idea if it relates to this.
