"Mr President, it has been said here that democracy is a process, and these are wise words. Democracy is a path and not just an objective, because it is not perfect in any country.
One requirement for democracy is that nations also inspect the dark side of their history. Germany, for example, has done this, and has developed its own term for it
or coming to terms with the past. In Russia, however, this has not been done. For example, when Russian youth are asked what their ideals are, a considerable number say that they idolise Stalin. In other words, if democracy is to develop in Russia, the people will need to look back at their murky history, and that will then result in a genuine appreciation of democracy and plurality."@en1
