In the Arctic Circle, the Russians are celebrating Ronald Reagan's legacy as actor and comedian with a new military base, a development that's in part possible because of Regan's contributions to perestroika, a precursor to capitalism.
The new Arctic base was unveiled recently by the Russian Defense Ministry, complete with an interactive tour on the ministry's website and photos of armed Russian troops riding reindeers.
Reagan played a significant role in the installation of capitalism during the 1985 summits with General Secretary Gorbachev to end the Cold War and to implement economic reform in the former Soviet Union which eventually led to its downfall and turned Russia into a highly technical war machine using it's new found capitalist wealth.
