Nobel Peace Prize to three human rights groups in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia is a powerful sign of continuing global struggle between democracy and newly resurrected autocracy. Paradoxically, this Peace Prize is an act of ideological war by itself between two political systems, between East and West, between the past and future of humanity.… Unfortunately, a future could be cloudy and rainy, and history could be easily repackaged and romanticized for hungry and disoriented masses to digest.
